Music Box Bracelet by Breitler, Switzerland
By Kathy Cochran

-- forwarded message, please reply to sender and MMD --

I have a music box bracelet which plays "The Anniversary Song",
which was written by Al Jolson back in 1946, so I assume the bracelet
dates to the late 1940's or early 1950's.  It appears to be made
of a gold-washed metal.  The 18-tooth movement is marked "Breitler
Switzerland Pat. Pend."

Any information you can provide would be so greatly appreciated.
I have never heard of this movement before and I cannot find anyone
who has ever seen a piece like this.  I am looking for any information
on Breitler, the maker of the bracelet, and of course help in
determining the value of the piece.  Thank you so much for your time.

Sincerely,
Kathy Cochran
Longwood, FL
