Hi Matthew,
Not wanting to delay this appraisal longer waiting for additional information, I've appraised it broadly going on what I can tell from the photos. I am happy to fine-tune it at any time if you can provide more details.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
A Victorian style table-top rosewood music box
American or European, mid-late 19th Century
With inlaid lid, brass cylinder, serial number #5520
5 inches high, 17 inches wide, 7 inches deep
CONDITION: This music box appears to be in generally good cosmetic condition; if this plays, the value would be more.
PROVENANCE: Inherited
$150-250*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, or questions/concerns, and thank you again for using Mearto.
