13" Mermod Freres Musical Box
By Pam Sanders

I have a Mermod Freres Sublime Harmonies 13" cylinder music box given
to me by a great aunt and uncle.  The song list indicates number 64328
and lists these songs:

Mascot, Gobble Song, Audran
Excelsior, Mazurka, Marenco
Carmen, Toreador, Bizet
Boccaccio, Serenade, Suppe'
Faust, Waltz, Gounod
Chimes of  Normandy, Bell Trio, Planquette (my favorite)
Lucia di Lamermoor, Duett, Donizetti
Gitana, Waltz, Luccalossi

(I'm not sure about the spelling of some of the above.  Though the
handwriting is beautiful, the style is somewhat difficult to read.)

Can anyone tell from the above info when the instrument was made?
Is there any way to estimate its value, perhaps a range based on
condition?  I would appreciate any info, or perhaps someone can
suggest a source where I could research it.  Thank you very much.
