    Description

    I PURCHASED THIS TREASURE AT AN OLD ESTATE AUCTION AND I THINK IT IS AMAZING THAT IT IS NOT BROKEN.
    IT IS A PORCELAIN BOX THAT MEASURES APPROX. 3 3/4" TALL, 8" LONG AND IS 4 1/2" DEEP THAT HAS RAISED FIGURES AND SCENES WITH A BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO AND A COUNTRY HOME AND COW ON THE LID, WEDDING BELLS ON THE ENDS, AND ON THE DROP DOWN DRAWER IT HAS THE LYRICS FOR DAISY BELL (A BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO)  AND THE BACK HAS A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY SIDE SCENE, THE WIND UP KEY, ACTIVATION BUTTON (DOES NOT WORK) AND IT IS STAMPED ON THE BACK AND ALSO ON THE SIDE OF THE TRAY INSIDE R.O.N. 813582 CROWN DEVON NADE IN ENGLAND.
    MOST OF THESE I FOUND HAVE BEEN REPAIRED, BUT THIS ONE HAS NOT BEEN DAMAGED, BUT I BELIEVE THE MUSIC BOX HAS BEEN REPLACED.  THE ORIGINAL ONE WOULD HAVE HAD A THORENS MUSIC BOX THAT PLAYED DAISY BELL, THIS ONE HAS  ONE SIGNED GUEISSAZ 1B4B SWITZERLAND AND THE MUSIC PLAYED DOES NOT SOUND LIKE "A BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO" NOT SURE WHAT THE SONG IS, BUT IT WORKS.
    YOU TIP THE FRONT DRAWER OPEN AND I BELIEVE THIS WAS FOR CIGARETTES.
    PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS AND THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY AUCTION.
