Musical Box With Bells and Reed Organ
By John Ledwon
I just bought a music box that I would like some information on. It
has the usual combs and 9 bells plus an 18-note reed organ, all played
by a large cylinder. I have posted some pictures of it on my web site:
the case: http://organhouse.com/musicbox/case.JPG
the mech., both with the glass lid closed and open:

the combs that need repair and the reed organ actuators:

showing the faded name inside the left side of the case;
I think it says J.H. Sollee but it is pretty faded:

I would appreciate any help identifying it and where I might get the
combs repaired. The reed organ works okay except for one note and
hopefully that will be easy to repair.
Regards,
John Ledwon
