"Edelweiss" Cylinder Musical Box Movement
By Peter Thorp

Hello, I'm writing to ask if anyone knows more about who manufactured
this Edelweiss Swiss Made Pat'd musical movement. It was part of
a large lot I bought awhile back and I'm just now getting it running.

It plays "Danube Waves", a.k.a. "Anniversary Song". The governor
is assembled differently than most other small movements I've seen.
