I responded to this message on Wednesday, May 25th, that I have
a key-wound 80 keys cylinder Lecoultre Frères musical box that plays
six tunes including "Buffalo Gals".

I missed a return call on Thursday but will be talking with the author
probably Tuesday.  I am considering (if they will accept) to loan this
box indefinitely to the museum for this exhibit.
