Possible Nicole Freres Overture Musical Box
By Ira Prilik

Is there anyone in the Lido Beach, Long Island, New York area that
would be able to tell if an early Nicole Freres music box circa
1840 is indeed an overture box?  Obviously there isn't a tune card
available but the barrel is over 11-1/2" long, serial number 20622,
approximately 1 minute 50 seconds per barrel rotation, each tune
between 52 seconds and 58 seconds long.  Photos are available.

Thank you,
Ira Prilik
