Antique Rouge musical powder box

Description

This beautiful music box was given to my mother around 1941. It plays the song "A fine romance" by Jerome Kern. Was brought back from Pearl Harbor by one of the survivors. The top has a gold military emblem with an eagle on it.

It was used to put powder and a powder puff in it.

Still works. Would like to sell and get an appraisal.

Thanks,

Tom
