    Ok lets see how I go.
    Looking for age of this music box please.
    I will have a go. Did a bit of searching online and this is what I have come up with.
    Swiss made because the music box has Switzerland stamped on it. Plays o mein papa.
    Possibly bronze because it looks more like bronze than brass. Others will confirm

    Thinking 60s maybe
    a little beaten up so needs a little attention. Thoughts anyone 15056803895203.jpg 15056803690632.jpg 15056803689711.jpg 15056803688060.jpg

    Below is YouTube (visual and sound) with Eddie Fisher singing "Oh My Papa" in 1954.

    Bakersgma, just curious (and teasing a bit, I suppose) but did you find yourself singing a portion of that song even before you posted your reply to Chris Mount? ;)

    It is a cigarette box from about 1960, the musical movement probably by Reurge.(sp?)
