Unknown Coin-Op Wall Box of Oak
By Bruce Miller

I have an oak wall box that was very likely for a large orchestrion
or nickelodeon.  Long before I got this item, it was apparently
disassembled and stripped down to bare wood for restoration.  I have
no metal parts or hardware whatsoever for this box -- no mechanism,
no door hinges, no coin slot, no wiring, no lock, etc.  All that is
there is the oak wall box with door.

The box measures 13" tall, 8-3/4" wide, and 4-1/4" deep.  Can anyone
identify this?  I would appreciate any information on this rare item.
I have included a number of photos for the MMD web site.
