Subject: Information about a "Celesta" music box

My great-great grandmother came to the U.S. from Denmark in 1900.  She
brought with her a Celesta or Celeste disk music box.  There are 20-30
disks, approx. 12 inches in diameter.  The box is dark wood, possibly
walnut.   The crank is on the outside of the box, and the works are
enclosed.

Can you provide us with any additional information about the origins of
the box, such as "Is it German or Swiss?"  and would you possibly have
any other disks that would play on a machine this size?  Hope you are
able to add to our knowledge.  Thank you.
