Musical Box by Stauffer of Geneva
By Jean-Marc Lebout 

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

This music box is now on eBay auction [item 6254140354].  I studied
the tune card and came to the conclusion it is probably made by
Rivenc and not by Bremond.  The tune card is very similar to No.
114, 187, and 188 described in "Tune Sheets" by Mister Bulleid.

The serial number is 26863 game 223.  If we agree that Stauffer was
working around 1878, the serial number is more in accordance with
the dating chart of Rivenc than of Bremond.
