Thank you to those who have responded so far to my post. For clarity
this is a antique Paillard with a inlaid case top. It plays 10 tunes
on an 8" cylinder. I am currently in the process of restoring it.
I paid no attention to the tunes when I purchased it over 2 years ago
but upon beginning my work I almost could not believe what I was seeing
on tune card. I will not purchase machines without tune card. I find
the whole tune selection interesting and diverse as there is another
Christmas tune, a polka, a waltz, a love song, and others. It seems
like someone really wanted to reach the masses with these selections.
By the way the whole mechanism is nickel with a silver bed plate.
I sure was pleased. I am currently 3/4 the way through case and then
on to mechanism.
Thanks,
Daniel Davis
