    One clue to dating is the tune it plays. West Side Story opened on Broadway in 1957 so can't be earlier.

    It's a manicure set. Ruen is a good quality brand musical movement...

    Is the outside cleanable?

    nobody knows how to pronounce it. Charles Reuge was from the Val-de-Travers in the part of Switzerland that is called by many "Swiss Congo".
