For sale: Fine English music box of circa 1880 made by Van Guisan &
Son, 27 & 29 Pold Street, Liverpool. I suspect this box may have been
made in Switzerland and imported and sold by Van Guisan in Liverpool.

The musical movement works fairly well, but would profit from a
thorough going over and professional cleaning. The overall size is
18" Length, 8-3/4" wide and 9" tall; the cylinder is 8" Long.

The case has sustained some damage through the 100-plus years of use.
There is a sizeable chip out of the back part of the lid, and some
missing painted graining. The lid has sustained a crack across the
top and has been partially repaired. Needs some finessing!

The Tune List was programmed for the British Market:

1. Home Sweet Home by Sinclair and Bishop
2. My Love is Like a Red Rose
3. I'd Tell You If I Was a Little Fly
4. Molly Darling by Bays
5. Wilvern Galop by Faust
6. Ç'est' la conutr from Bayee by Auber
7. Waltz from Yedda by Metras
8. The Blue Bells of Scotland
