Original Standard Desk from the Standard Furniture Company- in Herkimer, New York. This desk was manufactured/purchased on April 5, 1968. Style no. 20. It has a walnut finish. The desk weighs at least 300 lbs. It has been in a dry basement for many years and homeowners. We currently have it in our garage and are ready to sell.
I have a Lador music box and I am interested to establish how old it
is. It seems unusual as the comb has 51 teeth and all the pictures
I have seen on the internet of Lador mechanisms are stamped 'Lador
Switzerland', whereas, on this piece 'Lador' is in a fancy script with
a lyre or other instrument behind it. Below 'Lador' there is 'BREVET +
DEM' and 'No.71894'.
The box plays several tunes (but 'squeaks' a little). There is a key/wiinder underneath the box and an It is in a walnut
veneer box and on the inside of the lid is what looks like a photochrome
postcard of 'Glion et les Dents du Midi' in Switzerland.Underneath is part of a label listing the 6 tunes the box plays, but the label torn and only part can be read.
