This listing is for an antique Swiss cylinder music box.
This is a high quality piece made by Jobin (marked on bottom).
Jobin of Brienz (Switzerland) was founded in 1835. They were known for their high quality woodwork. They created high quality music box cases, utilizing specialized music box movements produced by artists in Sainte Croix.
This music box measures about 14.75 x 7.2 x 5 inches.
The movement played when tested (see video).
There are some signs of wear and age present. Several tips are missing on the comb. No glass in dust lid. The lid doesn’t close all the way (typical for music boxes of this age due to their heavy movements)
For these reasons, this music box is being sold as is.
Please see photos and video for details
