Stolen Musical Boxes
By Kevin McElhone

Four items were stolen from an MBSGB member here in England last
night, outline details are below; if I get photos and serial numbers
these will be posted tomorrow.

1. Modern singing bird in a box (not cage)

2. PVF lever wound cylinder box, 10 or 11 inch cylinder, case and
movement are a marriage and do not exactly match each other.

3. Ducommon Giraud keywind cylinder box, drop down end flat, 4 airs.
Name is stamped on the bedplate.

4. Monopol 11-7/8 inch disc box, rare edge drive model (only 3 or 4
examples of this model are known).

Please let me know if you are offered anything like this over the next
few days or weeks so we can catch the thieves before they strike again.

Thanks,
Kevin McElhone
Membership Secretary, Musical Box Society G.B.
