Musical Snuff Box
By Brian Chesters
Hi All,
I did say I would let the group know of interesting items in sales in the UK.
Well I have just viewed a sale with a musical snuff box by H.Capt. The movement is the usual two air with fine comb and the spring is broken. I played it by pushing the cylinder and it sounds nicer than mine. The lid is amazing, It has an oxidised silver (?) panel of a three dimentional scene beneth the glass lid and is within a gold border. It looks superb.
Needless to say I have left a bid on it. I can now get down on my knees and pray.
Best wishes.
Brian Chesters
