Stella Model 175 15-1/2" Music Box
By Lelland Fletcher

Seeking information on Stella Music Box -- I have recently purchased a
Stella 15-1/2" music box, model 175.  I  cannot find that model listed
in the books or in Stella catalogue.

There are two differences in this machine that I cannot explain.  The
name inside the lid is "The Grand" and there is a loud winding click.
The 17-1/4" Stella is known as the Grand, and Stella is known for its
winding ratchet which eliminates most of the noise from the click in
winding.  The movement and the box seem to be original and go together.

Can anyone supply information regarding this different Stella?  I would
appreciate your help and I believe music box collectors might find the
answer of interest.  Thank you all very much.

Lelland Fletcher, San Diego.
