I have six of the very early (around 1800) mechanical music instruments
in my collection which I would like to know more precisely when they
were made.  Three of them have a signature.  Could anybody tell me from
these signatures when the instrument makers lived or operated their
workshop?

1. Instrument: Type "Serinette"
Signature: HUSSON - JACOTEL / Facteur d'Orgues et de Serinettes /
A Chatenois / par Neufchateau / departement des Vosges.

2. Instrument: Type "Perroquette"
Signature: Francois Goery Dumont / Facteur d'orgues et de Serinettes /
a Mirecourt, No. 36.

3. Instrument: Type "Orgue de Salon"
Signature: Lichon, Facteur de Serinettes / Mirecourt.

I hope that a MMD member from France, specialized on Serinettes, will
read this query.
