Hello all, I have just returned from an auction with a 3-bell musical
box. I don't normally lower myself to buy late boxes, but needs must
when the Devil drives (as we say in the UK).
The lid is decorated with a stunning picture of a large battleship
surrounded by flags. The ship has two big guns to the bow. The
transfer print is almost unmarked. Usually they are badly scratched
but this one is nice. The box has the tune sheet listing the 10 tunes,
and an average quality 3-bell movement inside.
Question: Has anyone seen this design before? Is it a particular
battleship or just a drawing?
