Jim, I picked up a copy too, in a recent UK roll auction, out of sheer
curiosity. You got a bargain. I paid GBP1.50, about $2.50. Mine was
in poor condition too, with a badly torn leader and some edge damage.
I suspect that a musical switch was a Victorian entertainment, in the
"name that tune" style, that lived on into the 20th century. Just a
wild guess.
