Description
Stunning 1890 Polyphon Music Box with 15 Interchangeable Discs
The Polyphon music box, made around 1890, is in its original condition. It features a single comb and is housed in a stunning walnut veneered case with intricate inlay and marquetry on the lid. The Polyphon company was the inventor of disc music box technology and is also the parent company of the Regina Music Box company. This means that the discs used by both companies are interchangeable, making it easy to acquire additional discs in the future. The music box has a twin comb movement and can play 15.5 inch/39.5 cm discs, 15 of which are included. It also has a detachable winding crank and is currently in working condition. Key to lock is not present.
21 1/2 x 19 1/2 x 11 3/4 inches
