My thanks to John Farrell, Jim Canavan, Matthew Caufield and Bill at
Backroom Piano.  These folks all responded with the publication dates
of the two song titles I was after.

The musical movement in question is a two-tune movement that is inside
a small liquor cabinet.  The cabinet is about 10 inches high, 7 inches
wide and about 5 inches deep.  It is in the form of an upright organ
with false organ stops and keyboard.  There are two glazed doors on
the lower front and the top is also gazed.  When the 'keyboard' is
depressed music begins and a latch is activated that allows the
spring-loaded lower doors to open revealing two small liquor decanters.
The music continues and the spring-loaded top opens and a tray holding
shot-sized glasses pops up.  There are two screened holes in the front
above the doors where the musical movement sits, the holes allowing one
to better hear the music.

The glassware is etched with a nice design.  The wood case is dark
mahogany with black trim.  The glass in both the top and in the lower
doors is beveled.  There is a tunesheet glued to the bottom of the
piece.  The tunesheet has a light brown border and the tune titles are
typed on the tunesheet, rather than handwritten.

I have seen two of these pieces, identical but for the music therein.
The two songs listed on the tunesheet of the first of these are
"Barcelona" and "I Miss My Swiss."  Barcelona by Gus Kahn and music by
Tolchard Evans was published March 25, 1926 and I Miss My Swiss (My
Swiss Misses Me) by Gilbert and Abel Baaer published May 25, 1925.

Based upon the rather modern hardware used in the construction of the
pieces, and the typewritten names on the tunesheet, I had guessed that
the  pieces were pre-WWII but later than 1900 (a 40-year stretch).
That has been reduced to perhaps a 10-year period of production,
sometime after the publication date of the latest song in 1926.

I am including two photos of the pieces.  One shows the bar closed,
and the other with the doors and top open (the decanters on this piece
are not present).

If anyone can identify it and knows who manufactured it and where it
was made or who retailed it, I would be very interested to know.

Musically yours,

Bill Wineburgh
