Music Box Size vs. Cylinder Size
By Tim Kramer

I'm a little curious about something I've seen a few times on
eBay.  Sometimes there will be a music box that has a rather small
mechanism installed.  Since the glass door and dividers appear to
be sized for it, it would seem that it's original, but why have such
a large box when the mechanism is only 1/2 or even only 1/3 of the
space provided?  Would such pieces be something to avoid?

(My digital cameras batteries have run down before I could finish
taking the photos.  I hope to have the last ones taken soon so that
hopefully someone out there will be able to figure out my mystery
music box.)
