Value of Stella Orchestral Grand
By Renaissance Le Corbeau

Today I was asked to have a look at a Stella Orchestral Grand (I've
got to check my book but I'm pretty sure that is it) and tell the
owner if it's worth anything.  I was rather tongue-tied as I had the
impression it would be a small little music box, not the monster I was
shown!

It's owned since 1900 by the same family (three generations), in
immaculate condition, 40 extra discs, comes with bottom part to store
them in, no scratches, damage, rust, or blistering of chrome parts,
perfect sound.  The only problem is two of the smaller teeth are
broken.  The coin mechanism works perfectly.  I need to download
pictures and will share when done.

Now, I have not really looked into these for a decade or more, so
I'm wondering if anyone can give me a rough idea what these are
approximately worth nowadays?  Would appreciate any help or advice.
