Identitify, Date Small Round Pendant Music Box
By Ron Swartz

I purchased at auction a small round music box approximately the size
of a silver dollar about 3/8" to 1/2" thick.  It has a Reuge Swiss
movement made in St. Croix.  It plays "Let me call you sweetheart".
The top has a picture of a man and  woman in period dress, the
winder is covered with (rhinestones ??).  There is a small loop
attached to the case (possibly for a chain).  The only information
I have been able to find is that my musicbox is probably a novelty
item sold to tourists.  Aany information on time of manufacture,
history, would be wonderful.  Vvalue is not the issue, I paid $5.00
for it because it is different, it works, and I like it.

thank you for any help
