Description
This winds up to open about 6 doors on slowly with santa lucia which I believe is the name of the song it plays. It has a small metal cherub, I believe, on the very top and like 3 devil or demon type metal characters only the heads that are on the feet of this. It is made of a heavy metal material and a slick and shiny wood type material that the doors are made out of. each door opens up one by one and there is what looks like velvet on the inside with possibly silver things on the inside of each door.
Re: REUGE, Swiss Musical Movement, made in italy
What you have is a pre 1960 music box. The music box is swiss "reuge" and construction overall is italian. It is constructed of brass and onyx. It is often called a "cigarette holder" where the matches are put in the basket in the center, and the cigarettes go in the "pockets" on the doors. I have 2 myself and enjoy them. I have seen them appraised at a minimum of $900 up to $1500.
Enjoy!
