Common Cylinder Box Tunes
By Daniel Davis

Thank you to those who have responded so far to my post.  For clarity
this is a antique Paillard with a inlaid case top.  It plays 10 tunes
on an 8" cylinder.  I am currently in the process of restoring it.

I paid no attention to the tunes when I purchased it over 2 years ago
but upon beginning my work I almost could not believe what I was seeing
on tune card.  I will not purchase machines without tune card.  I find
the whole tune selection interesting and diverse as there is another
Christmas tune, a polka, a waltz, a love song, and others.  It seems
like someone really wanted to reach the masses with these selections.

By the way the whole mechanism is nickel with a silver bed plate.
I sure was pleased.  I am currently 3/4 the way through case and then
on to mechanism.

Thanks,
Daniel Davis
