This Symphonion
music box was made in Germany in the late 1800s. The winding mechanism works fine. All the combs’ teeth, and pins are undamaged,
and they also work fine. It plays 7 5/8 inch
(about 19 cm.) discs. It is in fair condition cosmetically. Please see my
other auctions for a selection of Symphonion discs that will play in this music
box. The wooden part of the music box
measures about 10 ¾ X 8 ¼ inches and stands about 7 inches high.
