Early L'Epée With Hidden Bells & Drums Repaired

A few years back I asked the group to help identify a hidden bell box
I picked up at a junk store.  Nancy Fratti and Reg Smith both identified
it as a L'Epée.  Reg has since repaired a missing tooth and re-pinned
the cylinder for me.  I have a YouTube video of the box playing in its
repaired state:  https://youtu.be/dDeDrqNdRAU 

Many thanks to everyone that helped me with this project, and thanks
again, Reg, for the beautiful work you did on this music box.  Next up,
I need to restore the case.
