I am very impressed by your collection -- especially the Dimier Freres.
I had never heard of that name, so I looked it up in the Ord-Hume "bible"
as I call it ("The Musical Box--A Guide for Collectors"). On page 284,
there is a small description of that maker, which says that there are two
known boxes. Where is the other one?! It would be nice somehow to see a
picture or even hear the music. It should give you great pride to own
such a rare box.
That's all for now. Let's hear more from owners in far-off places, and
especially those with rare boxes. Thanks
Larry Greenfield
