Box very good overall, appears to have had a floral stencil at the center of the lid at one time, now gone, a few pieces of the line inlay missing from the top, the box was clearly well cared for, a small very old loss to the top of the left side, not seen when the lid is closed, the inside with black lacquer, lithographed card in very good condition, movement clean and playing pleasant melodies crisply. L 15" W 7" H 5 3/4"
