Description: ABOUT THIS BOX This is an antique, hand-crafted, wooden box that was outfitted to accept an early-to-mid-century Thorens music box mechanism. The hardwood box is aged and has a rich patina. The tunes played are as classic as the box itself. Lift the lid to reveal a Swiss Thorens 3/50 musical movement. The movement is clean, with typical tarnish on the cylinder. The box winds up smoothly and works precisely. It switches between the songs perfectly. A wire pull is used to start the movement, from the side of the box, and it stops automatically at song’s end. These tunes are European classics from the 1800’s and are sure to bring you joy: Tales of Vienna Woods Rigoletto Blue Danube CONDITION The wood box is aged and really looks terrific. It opens and closes perfectly. The finish shows some light mar areas and fine scratches. Please see the pictures for the issues — and the beauty of this piece. The music movement was inspected, lightly cleaned and properly lubricated. The sound quality is good and it is quite loud. There are only very light instances of resonance but no loud buzzes or squawks that can occur in vintage boxes. I always include a video so there are no unpleasant surprises. Please enjoy the music! SHIPPING The box measures 10-3/4” x 6-3/4” and is 2-3/4” high. The box will be expertly packed and will ship via priority mail. BUY WITH CONFIDENCE I have repaired, reconditioned, and sold over 200 music boxes in the last couple years. 80% of the boxes that I find have issues that need various fixes -- from simple to complex. When you buy a music box from me, I have inspected it, cleaned it, made repairs as possible, and will honestly report the condition. My statements will be backed by quality pictures and a video. I will always honor my return policy.
