Here is a vintage and rich looking German made Symphonion Brevete Music Box with twenty 8 ¼” metal discs. This box plays a rich, mellow sound with clear and crisp highs and soothing lows. The box has two sets of combs and one is stamped “47143.” The front bottom case has a strong lever wind arm. The box runs smoothly and correctly. The inside top cover has its original “Symphonion” paper insert label. The top has patriotic German and U.S. detailing.
I played several discs and they sounded beautiful. If you play this downstairs, you can still hear it clearly upstairs! The dark wooden case is in very nice condition, with only typical scratches and bumps, nothing serious. It has not been cleaned or altered in any way. Some of the disc titles include: “Bridal March”; “Light Cavalry March”; “Air out of Herolds Zampa”; “Vagabonds March”; “Out of the Twins” (superb sound); “La Belle Elise”; “Sweet Heart”; “Artist Life Waltz” and many more. With the lid closed, the box measures 10” square and sits a little over 6 ½” high. With the top lid open, it sits 14 7/8”. This is a very nice piece!
