Music Box Disks
By Mike 'Fox' Morrey

Just curious, I figure if anywhere, someone on here would know.  :>
I live out in Colorado here, and there's a semi-famous ghost town near
where I live.  Went into it's one general store, and up on the wall
were two disks.  (I'm guessing about 6" or 9" in diameter.)

It took me a while, but I finally surmised that these must be for music
boxes.  (Honestly, I'm a "young un'"; I haven't even _seen_ a music box
that took these.)  They were slightly rusted, but the printing was
still visible on them.

Are these worth anything?  I mean to someone who has a music box; not
looking for profit.  Does anyone want them? :>  I didn't pick them up,
and probably can't until next spring (winter's here), but how rare are
these things?
