A local museum once had a music box, but alas no more. They have some
documentation on it and we are trying to figure out who might have
produced it.
There are a number of clues, but best ones are:
1. it was a cylinder box with bells.
2. it was made in 1860 or late 1859
3. it played several tunes, but one was particularly unusual:
"God Bless the Prince of Wales."
I am not familiar with that tune, but if anyone is, please share with
me whatever you know. Also, if anyone knows how to figure out what
manufacturer(s) produced a box playing this tune, I'd love to hear how
to go about discovering that as well.
