Seek Disc Musical Box Serial Numbers
By Kevin McElhone

I have been researching Disc Musical Box serial numbers for about 20
years and am collecting this data anonymously, not keeping details of
who owns what. I wonder if readers can help me please?

All I need is the maker's name, the case wood type, is the box table-top
or upright, the accurate diameter of disc, format of combs and the
serial number. If you do not want to type up all of that simply send me
a few photos. The Excel summary file is attached.

I have published the full details in my book about disc Musical Boxes,
the Supplement, and the Musical Box Society G.B. Journal 'The Music
Box'. I would particularly like to hear from you if you own boxes _not_
made by the 'big three' makers: Symphonion, Polyphon and Regina.

Thank you,
