Zilotone Toy
By Michael Woolf

The Zilotone was a clockwork toy, American, pre-WW2, made of tin.  It
consists of a clown figure seated at a xylophone (or, I suppose, techni-
cally more of a glockenspiel because the bars are metal.)  Under the
control of changeable discs the clown plays a simple tune.

They're cute!  Mine is incomplete - does anyone have a spare clockwork
motor for one?
