"Pocket Watch" Musical Box by William N. Weeden
By Dan Edminster

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

Hello,  I contacted a number of folks on the Internet that
looked promising as a result of a Google search and one recommended
this venue.  Thus far, I've hit a brick wall on this search.

I am writing an article on William N. Weeden of New Bedford,
Massachusetts.  Weeden's company, The Weeden Manufacturing Company,
supposedly made a small music box in the form of a pocket watch.
The patent number is 283,307 and it was issued on August 14, 1883.
A link to the patent is here:

I am searching for an picture of one to illustrate my article.
If you have one, or are aware of a dealer, collector or museum that
has an example, I'd appreciate knowing about it.

Best regards,
Dan Edminster
