List of Music Box Manufacturers
By Bill Wineburgh

In the 971118 MMDigest, Bill Sheltmire asked: "Is it possible to
receive a list of music box manufacturers world wide ?"

Arthur Ord-Hume's recent Book The Musical Box (1995, Schiffer
Publishing), contains an Index of Makers, Inventors, and Patentees
which comprises Chapter 13 of the book.  While extensive, it is not
easy to identify the manufacturers that are still in business from this
list.

So here's a short list of some current musical box manufacturers with
links to home sites:

Porter Music Box Co., Randolph, VT  USA
  15-1/2" single, double and triple disc musical boxes
