Unknown Cylinder Music Box Plays 8 Tunes
By John Grant

A customer has a smallish music box for which he seeks some help in
identifying for disposition.  I did not attempt to play it after he
said it had not been played in years.

The tune card indicates 8 tunes.  I count 93 teeth on an unmarked
(to my casual observation) comb.  He said as far as he knew it came
from "Germany".  I would guess the cylinder to be 14-15" long.
Feel free to respond here or contact me privately.
