Octagonal cylinder music box with organ
$2750
This Swiss music box with six tunes and 10.5 inch cylinder, possibly manufactured by Bremond, sits in an unusual octagonal case. It is marked Flutes Voix Celeste, that is, it has an organ accompaniment.The comb and mechanism are in good condition with no broken teeth. The organ, which has one small patch on the bellows, does not appear to have ever been rebuilt but is still audible. It's quite rare to find a music box with an organ.

The box probably dates to the 1860s and the wood, particularly the front panel, shows some age cracking appropriate to a 150 year old box. I redid some old repairs on the case, reintegrated the sounding board, and regrained and reveneered some parts of it, also polished it a little and touched it up. It looks quite respectable (see images).

Dimensions are approximately 20 inches by 10 inches by 9 inches deep.
