Hi Group,  Thanks very much for your time!  I have already received
10 replies.

Tune 1 has been identified as "Il Bacio" by Luigi Arditi.

Tune 2 has been identified as "Ecco, ridente in cielo"
from The Barber of Seville" by G. Rossini

Tune 3 has been identified as "Tyrolienne from William Tell" by Rossini.

Tune 4 is still unknown.

Tune 5 has been identified as "Le ranz des vaches" (the "cow-song",
a popular Swiss tune)

Tune 6 is still unknown.

As to dating, one says 1880 to 1890, another says 1883, which fits, and
a third says late 19th century, which also fits.

As to make, I have been given Paillard from three people.  They came up
with this due to various construction features and the serial number.
Another said PVF/Paillard.

Robbie, Jody, and MMD are terrific!

Thanks,

Jack M. Conway
