Attachment thumbnail Tune 2 has been identified as "Ecco, ridente in cielo" from The Barber of Seville" by G. Rossini https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIfz8fNQw0U
Attachment thumbnail Tune 3 has been identified as "Tyrolienne from William Tell" by Rossini. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm4ZM9OdCbM
Attachment thumbnail Tune 4 is still unknown. Tune 5 has been identified as "Le ranz des vaches" (the "cow-song", a popular Swiss tune) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=me4bZm7F60A
Attachment thumbnail Tune 6 is still unknown. As to dating, one says 1880 to 1890, another says 1883, which fits, and a third says late 19th century, which also fits. As to make, I have been given Paillard from three people. They came up with this due to various construction features and the serial number. Another said PVF/Paillard. Robbie, Jody, and MMD are terrific! Thanks, Jack M. Conway Los Angeles, California, USA
