Seller: adamminett ✉️ (3,188) 100%, Location: Penryn, Cornwall, GB, Ships to: AMERICAS, EUROPE, ASIA, AU, Item: 252667384848 Beautiful Antique c19th Victorian Cylinder Music Box, Pristine Movement. An exquisite Victorian music box, circa 1890. Retailed by W. E. Archer of Lord Street, Liverpool, who were in the main lantern slide and projector vendors, though with an interest in musical box and clockwork devices. A pristine cylinder movement, probably Swiss. Four airs. The controls comprise an internal crank winding lever, a change and repeat lever and a start stop lever which automatically stops each air after it has completed playing. All teeth on the comb are perfect and all pins on the cylinder present and in perfect order. Immaculate condition which in turn makes for a beautiful sound:

Simulated Rosewood case with decorative stringing and a shaped brass escutcheon. Original glass, orginal glass door tab and original tune card (some forgiveable flaws to the card). The airs comprise: We are a merry family; My Queen; Pretty lips; Messenger of Love. Measures just under 13 inches wide, seven inches deep and five inches tall. A delightfully compact, pristine music box in wonderful condition. A charming and significant Christmas gift.
