FS: Allard Polytype Interchangeable Cylinder Box
By Johan Goyvaerts

Hello, Recently I was able to buy a very rare polytype music box.
The nickel-plated mechanism has 4 cylinders 33cm long: 1 sublime
harmony, 1 piccolo, 1 tremolo, 1 with the 3 settings divided over the
6 tunes.

It is made by Allard and in a good playing condition with all the
teeth original and the pinning of the cylinders in great condition.
Mechanically it needs a good cleaning.

The case has some minor defects on the edges of the lid and front,
something that can be fixed easily by a restorer (there are no complex
marquetry things missing!). If interested, please let me know.

Regards,

Johan Goyvaerts
