The box is in good condition. It has some scratches in the wood on the top and bottom of the lid and may have been refinished some time ago. It is missing a small piece of molding on the back left corner. The movement looks fairly clean and the tunes change as they should. The bells and hammers have nice polychrome flower and butterfly ornaments. No tune card under the lid. No key for lid lock.
