Description

HI-
I recently aquired a music box and am wondering what it is worth and the significance of the signature/number inscribed on the bottom. It is Reuge-made in Italy and plays 3 songs. There are a lot of different price ranges for these and I can't seem to find my particular box anywhere on the internet. From my research, I have figured out the signature is that of Angelo Bornaghi. Here are some pics of the box..
