Seek Musical Box With Praxinoscope On Top
By Mike Smith

I am trying to track down an example of a musical box with
a praxinoscope on top for a research project I am undertaking.
Can you help?

 [   "The Praxinoscope is a typical optical toy from the 19th century.
 [ It consists of a cylinder and a strip of paper showing twelve frames
 [ for animation.  As the cylinder rotates, stationary mirrors in the
 [ centre reveal a 'single image' in motion."
