Symphonion Simplex Music Box
Price: US $354.99

This sale is for a vintage German-made, Symphonion Simplex, lever action music box. It comes with seventeen 5 3/4 inch metal disks. This music box is believed to date back to the beginning of the 20th century, possibly earlier. The lever on the side winds the spring nicely and it plays beautifully. It would most likely benefit from a cleaning/lubricating and servicing. The single comb is not missing any teeth andis mounted on a gilt metal (brass/bronze) plate. The wood box is finished in a dark brown stainand has a nice patina. There is some loss of paint and gilting on thetop of the boxas seen in the picture. The paper label on the underside of the lid has some writing (in pencil) that states \"...Given to Margaret E Hall by Charles D Hatch...\", the rest of the writing is illegible. Under the label on a section of unfinished wood is an ink stamp written in German with what appears to be two hand written signatures. (These could be some type of inspector signatures dating back to theassemblyof the music box.)

The seventeen music disks areof a mixed variety and appear to be in original working condition.

This is a very nice vintage music box in fine working condition.

The box is 7 1/2 inches long, 6 3/4 inches wide and 4 3/4 inches high. Domestic shipping anywhere in the United States will be $18.75. International shipping will be through the Global Shipping program.
