Lloyd G. Kelley Musical Dancing Dolls
By Troy Duncan
I am looking to see if any of the more senior members of the MBSI
community are familiar with a name. I recently found a stamp within
an antique Karl Griesbaum singing bird box with the name "Musical
Dancing Dolls, Lloyd G. Kelley, Hanover, Mass."
The bird is an early Karl Griesbaum and is dated 1921, with thick
plates, highly polished and pinned so this is a KG type 1 movement --
his best. What I do not know is if Lloyd added his markings to the
bird box interior or if he was the original retailer from the 1920s.
The box has been serviced (a very long time ago) as the bellows are
not original so maybe Lloyd serviced this. Any insight is appreciated.
Kind regards,
Troy Duncan
