Thorens musical powder box

By Michelle Jones, 1 June, 2021
Description

I have had in my possession a Thorens music powder box for some time now.
The only information I know is what I have researched myself.
I believe it to be pre reuge and its a wind up key and plays ll Travatore. Made of I believe brass with 3 legs
It's has an embroidered top which I find unusual but it is in full working order.
There is no serial number that I can see and I have not taken it apart.

Most of these date from the second quarter of the 20th Century and are not really considered rare or valuable. Most comparables retail for under $75.00 in antique stores.
