Music: O Sole Mio, Rich red velour lining and key lock. 10 x 6 x 3 inches. Entitled Miss Bellevue Meta Di Sorrento made in Italy by Reuge Music Boxes Certification Issue Number 679. Swiss musical boxes have been handcrafted for many generations since their invention by Antoine Favre in 1796 in Geneva.

While Geneva was important in the early development and production of musical boxes only the mountain village of Sainte Croix continues as a world center for the manufacture of musical movements. Of the families associated with this industry, Reuge Music is world renowned.

This heirloom quality musical box is handmade by Swiss master craftsmen. Each musical movement requires tremendous skill and manual dexterity to build. The pins have to be arranged on the cylinders, the comb (serving as the keyboard) must be tuned, and the clockwork assembly which drives the cylinders must be built. The greater the diameter of the cylinder, the longer the arrangement will be; and the greater the number of teeth in the comb, the more artistic the musical arrangement. Musical boxes are included in the Division of Musical Instruments Collection in our National Museum of American History.
