Antique Metal POWDER MUSIC BOX Victorian Jewelry Powder Box Musical Victorian Couple Vanity Box Powder Puff Box Vintage Vanity R-17

Pretty antique metal powder puff musical box with a lovely raised floral design of daisies along the outside, three wooded peg feet, and a picture (plastic) on the lid of an edwardian or victorian couple playing music together. I don't recognize the song. Engraved in the wood on the bottom near the key it says, us patent no.

Condition: the music box plays, but it might take a bit of gentle wiggling of the metal release peg under the lid. It also sounds a bit "grindy" as you can hear the gears working while playing.

Measurements: about 4 1/4" diameter across bottom, 3 1/2" diameter across lid, 3 1/4 tall. The prices reflected in my listings are just general and typically an over-estimate. I trust you, the purchaser, to have a keen eye and know what it is you are hunting for. I try my best and spend time researching every piece, but i may make mistakes. Vintage pieces may contain imperfections, as is common with wear and age.

I select items that pull at my heart. Sometimes these blemishes add to the character and personality of the piece and i fall in love with it, flaws and all.

I do my best to show and/or describe the imperfections that i find so you can decide if it's something you fall in love with as well. For the love of vintage authenticity, history, and memory. Making these treasures yours again.

This item is made of metal.
