Featured Jewelry/Music Box

worth anything? I got it for $3 and it’s in perfect shape and music plays.

 

It is certainly worth more than $3.
It was made in Sorrento, Italy. I think 1960s or so.
If you google Sorrento box you will most likely get antique inlaid wooden boxes, Sorrento ware. Very beautiful, but nothing like this.

 

Nothing like this? Is that a good or bad thing? I will google

 

I think closer to 1970s or early 80s - look at the screw heads. The 60s ones had old style screws usually. Plus, the clear plastic label. The older ones had goil foil printed ones. Worth $3 any day.

 

Really great color, though... Never see blue.

 

Personally I prefer inlaid wood Sorrento ware, but I am more of an antiques person. Others may find Sorrento ware too flashy. Different strokes. Otherwise the world would be a boring place.

 

That blue was a very popular 1980s colorway.

very pretty !!!!

 

In the 1970s (edit: probably into the 80s, but I stopped going to malls, lol) there was a music box store in every mall (at least where I lived, central Florida)... shelves and shelves of these.

I always wanted one, but they were much too expensive for my family.
