FS: Nicole 4-overture Musical Box
By Brian Chesters

Hello MMD,  I have for sale a Nicole Freres four-overture box.
Standard size with cylinder about 13 inches and "fat", and playing
Zampa by Harold, two by Rossini including La Gazza Ladra and one by
Verdi.  Has the original tune sheet.  Case inlaid with brass and
metal.  Comb is very nice with just two tips requiring attention.

The box is unrestored and has just arrived.  Needs a good clean.  
Needs an overhaul including dampers, possibly needing re-pin.  Case is
original and tired.  Will make a super box when cleaned up and serviced.
Price is offers around 7500 GBP (about 10,500 euros or $12,500 USD).
I will take some images on Tuesday.

Brian Chesters (in England)
