Manufacturer: Thorens
Vintage Thorens music box. Bottom has metal oval tag: Thorens, Distributed by Silverite Co., Brooklyn, 16, N.Y. And, paper label: Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral, Made in Switzerland. The too-ra-loo is the song it plays. It does work and the lid comes off to reveal an open space for pins, cufflinks, etc. It has one flaw other than a bit of tarnish: one of the raised medalions circling the box is slightly dented in. I tried to get a good photo of this but it was hard to do; see pic 7#. This box is 3 tall x 3.5 wide. It looks quite old, likely antique; Victorian era looking; age estimate: 1920's or earlier. It displays nice despite the flaw. 8/14
