Very small scratch on top which probably can be rubbed out. The top is securely attached to the base by the hinges. Same with the interior door over the movement that is mostly glass. The glass is intact no cracking or blistering.
The pin cylinders are done in a beautiful gold colored lacquer. The top, sides and bottom of the case are in very good condition with the noted exception of the small scratch on the lid.

The glass in intact on the inner door over the movement, no cracking or blistering.
The top is securely attached to the rest of the case by the hinges. The song sheet is etched on a mirrored piece of glass on the inside of the top of the case. The music box dates to the 1970s to 1980s. The brass movement was made in Switzerland.
The music box plays 10 different tunes, two on each cylinder. The music box has been well maintained over the years. The 2.75 long pin cylinder shows little to no loss of finish.

The four legs are in place on the case, need new green felt on their bottoms. The song board is done on a mirrored piece of glass on the inside of the top.
The comb is in excellent condition. All the approximately 50 teeth are in place. The gold colored plated finish on the combshows little to no finish loss.
