A rare and fantastic Swiss Bells in Sight music box made of inlaid mahogany having 10 airs. The sound is beautifully nostalgic. It has 9 bells which chime with flower and bird strikers. The box is wound by a brass crank concealed on the left in a well. There are levers for starting, stopping; and enabling the chimes. The blind dovetail construction speaks to its quality construction. The box is in good to very good condition, the main defect being a horizontal crack part way across the lid...
