Vintage Swiss Reuge Walnut Music Box With 2 Tunes Reuge music box company of Switzerland is famous for extremely high quality music boxes. They made some very elaborate and expensive music boxes and also made some very high quality cases to enclose their music players inside of.

This box is one of those high quality machines. The case itself is a pure walnut case with a sheet of glass covering the brass music player. The glass can be removed for cleaning by lifting out one removable end of the wood trim surrounding the glass. The glass can then be slid out, cleaned and reinserted.

The front of the case includes a button to turn the music player on and off. The bottom of the case is where the winding key is that is used to wind the mainspring to operate the music player.

This particular music box plays TWO TUNES which is unusual for most music boxes but not too unusual for this high-end and high quality Reuge music boxes. Some of them can play up to 4 different tunes--all on the same roller music player. The large roller is designed to shift back and forth, left to right and right to left when it changes to a different tune. All of that is automatic, all you have to do is wind the key and turn it on.

The tunes this player sounds is EDELWEISS by Richard Rogers and LARA'S THEME by Maurice Jarre. There is a notation in the bottom right corner of the label shown in the photos that says 2/36 which means this player will play 2 tunes on 36 teeth (note bars on the music box). Most music boxes are 18 teeth so you can tell how much quality of sound and the beauty of the tunes by all the note teeth this machine is using. There are some expensive Reuge music boxes with 4/50 which means they play 4 tunes on 50 teeth.

This music box measures 2.75 inches tall, 6.75 inches wide and 4 inches deep.

West German Alarm w/Music Box and Dancing Ballerina This is a wonderful collectible that you can enjoy for a very long time. It is one of those treasured items that never lose their character or desirability.

This West German made unit is a clock with an alarm that triggers the music box which plays TICO - TICO. You may not recognize the name of the tune but you will certain recognize the melody of the tune. The alarm going off also triggers the ballerina. The ballerina dances around and around in erratic patterns making her look like she is really dancing up a storm. There are two mirrors behind the ballerina positioned at an interesting angle making it look like there are 3 ballerinas dancing when there really is only one ballerina and two mirrored images in the background.

The music box and ballerina can be stopped by simply turning a knob in back of the clock.

This clock certainly falls into the collectible novelty clock group. This style of clock is rare but I have been collecting them for many years and have several.

Everything is operating on this clock as it should. The gold trim on the left side front of the clock is a metal strip. The gold strip on the right side front of the clock is a gold painted stripe so am assuming the original gold metal trim was lost somewhere along the way and someone painted in a gold stripe to match. It is really hard to tell that unless you know it is there. There are some scuffs and scratches on the clock case, but the lenses are in great condition and not damaged at all. I would estimate this clock to be from the late 1950's to early 1960's.

The music box was made by the famous maker named Reuge of West Germany. They are renowned for making quality music boxes of all sizes. The music box in this clock is working great.

This item measures 3.25 inches tall by 4.25 inches wide and 2 inches deep.

Vintage TV Alarm w/Music Box and Dancing Ballerina Can you believe this unusual find? This alarm clock is from my personal ballerina clock collection. I am told by a viewing customer that this unique item was made around 1953 as her Father gave one to her Mother as a gift and she still has the item and that it is identical to this unit. It was made in West Germany the Bradley clock company which was well known for quality alarm clocks.

This ballerina is called a spinning ballerina clock. The girl simply twirls around and around constantly when the alarm goes off. This West German made unit is a clock with an alarm that triggers the ballerina and the music box which plays a tune I recognize but cannot remember its name. There are two mirrors behind the ballerina positioned at an interesting angle making it look like there are 3 ballerinas dancing when there really is only one ballerina and two mirrored images in the background.

The music box and ballerina (alarm) can be stopped by simply pushing in the left TV knob on the front of the unit as shown in one of the photos. The alarm is set by moving the alarm set hand from the back of the clock and then pulling out the TV knob on the left front of the unit. The alarm can be paused by turning the right TV knob.

This clock certainly falls into the collectible novelty clock group. This style of clock is rare but I have been collecting them for many years and have several. This is only the second TV/Ballerina clock I have ever seen so it is a rare one indeed.

This is a most interesting clock and I would be happy to discuss with you anything that you don't quite understand. The case of the clock is in very good condition except for some minor warping on the top of the item as shown in the photos. The black case of the item is a type of plastic. Both lenses of the item are glass and in perfect condition. The clock is operational and has been fully serviced.

This item measures 5 inches tall by 3 inches wide and 3 inches deep.
