Antique Swiss Cylinder Music Box, 1890s, 8 Tunes, Working

Antique Swiss cylinder music box from the 1890s, in working order and it sounds beautiful. Plays 8 tunes on a 5½ inch brass pinned cylinder with a tuned steel comb. Ebonized case with an inlaid wood lid, and the lid has a lovely inlaid flower and instrument design on top. Hinged lid with a glass dust cover over the movement. Original color lithographed tune card is still intact, printed by Picard-Lion in Geneva. Serial number 5705.

The 8 tunes: Turkish Patrol, My Queen Waltz, Climbing Up the Golden Stairs, Baby Mine, Sweet By and Bye, Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay, Auld Lang Syne, and Monastery Bells.

Case shows light wear for its age, nothing broken or chipped. Levers for start/stop and tune change both work.

$1,100 or best offer. Pickup in Cape Coral, or I can ship it within the US (double boxed, mechanism secured, buyer pays shipping).
