Description
9 1/2" (24 cm.) x 6" . The mahogany-cased keywind music box has brass and metal works, marked "Made in Germany", with original key, and with storage section for the 23 discs which are included. Of the discs, the names are worn off on 13, but the others include titles which seem most apt for the film environment of the young Shirley Temple, including "Belle of New York", "The Merry Widow", "Whistle While You Work", and "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers". A note included with the music box indicates "Shirley's 1st music box - 1935" and the simple word "Treasure". Some restoration to the works is necessary, one piece of wood trim missing, some wear to discs. Swiss, probably Thorens, circa 1935.
