Lot 221
A late 19th Century Swiss walnut cylinder musical box, the case satinwood crossbanded and boxwood line inlaid, with hinged top enclosing a musical cylinder playing 8 aires with visible bells, raised on block feet 8.5"h x 18"w x 10.5"

The movement requires new main spring/ratchet to work. All teeth are complete but the 19th tip from the left is broken. The case is structurally sound, the top needs re-polishing. There is a crack to the right hand side of the lid. The lid section of the lock also requires attention. Overall, the condition of the lot is indicative of home use.
