FS: Musical Snuff Box
By Brian Chesters

For sale:  Musical snuff box.  Tortoise-shell case with gold shield
embellishment in centre of lid.  Lid has a crack on one side but is
not broken.  Base is in good condition, the sides have damage to two
of the small screw holes.

Interior is nice, movement is in good condition with sectional comb
in groups of three, total of 63 teeth.  Base to the right.  Governor
and spring looks okay but there is no key to wind it up.  Smooth brass
bed plate.  Teeth are undamaged and very clean.  The stop/start and
tune change device has been dismantled but appears to be complete.

Price is 600 GBP.  To include postage to the USA.
