Musical Paper Weight
By Ben Jackson

Hi all,  I've got an musical paper weight that was made in Hong Kong
which I brought from the National Museum of Mechanical Music in
Holland in 1998.  The musical movement is in a small see-through piano
shape, and it weights paper or card down when it's on top of paper
or card, etc.  It plays "On My Own" from "Les Miserables", and it's
a wind up from under the movement on the bottom.  Any help or info
would be very useful to me.

Thanks
Ben Jackson  (Nottingham, UK)  :-)
