LADOR MUSIC BOX

By lador music, 31 March, 2010
Description

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.
