This vintage music box is a classic beauty from the early-to-mid 1900's and is in great condition. It has been cleaned and serviced for another generation to enjoy. The "shield" box style is iconic, and this box is in great shape. This three-tune playlist is classic, intricate, and it sounds terrific. Lift the lid to reveal the world-class 3/50 movement from the Swiss craftspeople of Thorens. You will see it is clean and shiny and it looks great. The mechanism winds up smoothly and functions perfectly. It switches between the songs effortlessly and automatically. The music starts and stops (at tune end) via the front slider. The original Thorens tune label is present. This music box plays three beloved tunes that are courtly and elegant, with strong French ties. They are associated with dances in aristocratic courts and are characterized by grace and refinement. The old wood box is in great condition.

The finish is in good shape with very light signs of wear and typical crazing. Please see the pictures for the beauty of this piece. The musical movement was inspected, lightly cleaned, properly lubricated, and cycled. The sound quality is excellent. It is rich and crisp.

There are NO instances of resonance (loud squawks or buzzes) that can occur in vintage music boxes. These vintage Thorens box are loud thanks to the excellent construction. Please see the video and enjoy this wonderful box! The box measures 6-1/2" x 3-3/4" x 2-3/4. Over 80% of the boxes that I find have issues that need various fixes -- from simple to complex. I do not use AI-generated (inaccurate) listings. My statements will be backed by quality pictures and a FULL video.

Clean and condition with wood polish/feed. Remove and clean the glass. Ensure proper glass fit and eliminate rattles.

Check hinge for proper closing. Ensure proper operation and sound quality.

Eliminate resonance issues (buzzes or squawks). Inspect dampers and replace as needed. Inspect governor and eliminate ticking noises. Ensure start/stop mechanism works properly.
