The Most Recent Additions to This Category are First!
Violin in the Case with the bow. This was made in a smaller size as a child's learning violin and is marked inside, SKY No. 41. It is made of such lovely wood and comes in the nicely felt lined case in just the right size. The bow has a string loose and the violin needs new strings and a replaced bottom piece that holds all of the strings as there is a chip off one side as seen in the pictures. The violin is 18 1/2 inches long and 6 1/2 inches wide. Made in perfect scale for learning. It is well worth some restoration and the case is even worth most of the price of the set. It is sold as found. A great buy.  Vintage Russian made high quality 100 bass Stradella system three row button accordion with seven changes in the right hand section. The previous owner tells me the brand name is 'Saturn'. This is a fine quality instrument in excellent playing condition. A great buy for someone wanting a quality instrument! Comes with a velvet lined carrying case and has a shiny black finish (See other views). It is a beautifully made accordion with a fantastic sound! Shipping and insurance charge in the U.S. is $49.00. Plays great!

If you would like to hear the sound quality you can call and I can play it over the phone. You will love it!

Flute in the case. All of the spaces are filled in the parts of the case but not sure if all is there and do not know how to put it together. It looks great, but would guess that it needs new pads as it has been in storage for quite some time.  It looks like a piece is missing on the end of the mouth section. The case is pretty nice, with great tin corners. Well worth having a little work done at this price. It is sold as found.  Musical Toys Trio. This is a nice set of 1950-60's musical toys.

It is in fantastic detail on all of the pieces and think it may have been for teaching a child or a salesmans sample. With an adjustment to the center bar, believe it would work once the strings are allowed to sit properly. It even has the chin rest, a great bow and the the leatherette case with the end box for the resin and a red velour like lining. The violin is 8 3/4 inches long and 3 inches wide. The bow is 10 1/4 inches long and the case is 11 1/2 inches long, 3 3/4 inches wide and 2 inches deep. What a fantastic piece to find.

From the Internet, some interesting information: The Criterion Music Boxes were made in America, in New Jersey, by the firm of F. G. Otto & Sons.  It was marketed initially by M. J. Paillard of New York in November, 1896. Like a previous brand that Otto manufactured, this one was also challenged by the Regina Company (maker of the Regina Music Box) over patent infringements, and was replaced by another brand, the Olympia.

Olympias began to appear in 1898.


There were six different sizes of the Criterion brand, including 8-3/4

inch, 10-1/2 inch, 11-5/8 inch, 14 inch, 15-1/2 inch and 20-1/2 inch, these being the diameter of the discs they played.  The discs were made of zinc on all but the smallest size machine; those were made of steel.

The discs are driven by perforations around the edge of the disc except for the smallest size which was driven by a center spindle.  The rectangle shaped edge-drive perforations are reinforced on the leading edge by the metal that was punched for the perforation itself.


Most of the Criterion music boxes were of the single comb design, although many of the larger size boxes were available (and are found today) with double combs.  Their cases were either mahogany or oak, most having pressed wood trim and carved panels in the front and sides.


Matching tables and disc storage bins were also available.  They are a good thing to have when storing a quantity of discs to keep them from getting damaged.


The sources for this information are: Q. David Bowers' "Encyclopedia of

Automatic Musical Instruments" and Arthur W.J.G. Ord-Hume's "The Musical Box, A Guide For Collectors."
