Unknown Musical Box is a Symphonion
By Craig Smith 

[ Ref. 030512 MMDigest]

Hi,  You are correct to suggest that this is a Symphonion disc music
box.  It has many distinct features of this maker.  Someone has either
removed the coin mechanism or perhaps they have used a coin-op case and
installed a non-coin-op mechanism.  Looks like it is in very nice shape
too.

By the way, I think that punched hole is original, as these instruments
are usually center drive.

Regards,
