Unknown Brass Cylinder Music Box Plays 32 Reeds
By Nancy Fratti

I just sold a 36-note full organ box by Bremond and another, 98%
identical one, sold at auction about two years ago.  Both have side
winding cranks on the outside (not ratcheted from the inside).

But, in all my years of selling boxes, I've only seen _Bremond_ and
_Nicole Freres_ musical boxes with the folded ratcheted winding levers
on top, as Mr. Gerer mentions.
