FS: Brian Tolley Musical Collection in UK
By Kevin McElhone

I have just taken into stock here The Brian Tolley Collection -- an
entire collection of all types of musical instruments, including :-

* 6 empty cylinder box cases

* 30 cylinder  musical boxes- most in need of repairs, missing teeth
or other parts.

* 13 Disc musical boxes and empty cases

* 6 Snuff boxes, most needing attention.

* 9 Musical Photo Albums â€" again needing TLC.


* 2 Modern automata â€" both 240 volts UK mains voltage

* 60 Novelties including modern Reuge, Thorens, Romance musical
boxes, singing birds, modern electric types, a Musical Cigar
dispenser, wall pictures, etc., etc.

* 73 Books, many rare, hard to find, mostly in almost new condition.

* Perhaps 400 old society magazines: MBSI (USA), AMICA (USA), Player
Piano Group.

* Perhaps 150 auction catalogues: Phillips, Christies, Sotheby,
Bonhams, etc.

* A carton of commercially recorded cassette tapes.

* CDs.

Please let me know if you would like to receive lists of anything
in particular.

I also have the remains of these two collections, but they must be
collected from the estates they belong to around the UK; no posting
of these items.

90 items left in the Daphne Ladell collection in Surrey

36 items left in the John Hensell collection in Hampshire
