I have just been out locally and lubricated this musical box which
was seized solid after 40 years without lubrication. I have recorded
all of the songs -- can you identify any of them, please?

Serial Number 'c480' and 'Ducommun Giraud' is stamped on the winding
lever. The case is 54.5 cm x 19 cm x 14.3 cm high. The cylinder is
2 inches diameter, 93 teeth in the comb, 8 airs, no tunesheet and
no pin holes in the underside of the lid where a tunesheet might
have been. These tunes were all recorded:

1. ?
2. Home to Our Mountains - G. Verdi
3. ?
4. ?
5. ?
6. The Old Folks at Home (Swanee River) - Stephen Foster
7. ? (a polka or mazurka)
8. ?
