Due to the size/weight/fragility of this item, it will require a pick up or customer-arranged 3rd-party shipping. We will connect you with reputable transport companies after the auction. This large impressive cabinet featuring a crossbanded king wood and inlaid with satin wood stringing line and with Ebonized trim. The lid finely inlaid with a musical trophy in varicolored fruitwood within an oval. There is some loose and damaged trim on the top cover as well as nicks, scrapes and dents and some finish loss mainly at the base of the cabinet. See photos. It has 2 large decorative carrying handles. Inside the top cover is a copy of the original tune card. The original tune card is present and has been laminated for safe keeping. The glass dust cover appears to be a replacement. The lever wound two spring mechanism features a 17-1/2" L cylinder approximately 2-1/2" diameter. The mechanism has its original nickel plating is a bit dirty in average condition. Combs are a bit dirty with minor surface rust with one visible broken comb tip. The mechanism winds and runs but is a bit temperamental when starting and stopping and is in need of some adjustment. The tune indicator is missing its pointer hand.. The mechanism also has a zither attachment which is missing its pad and has been moved out of the way and no longer functional. The case dimensions are 34-1/2" L X 15-1/4" W X 10" H. This machine in the right hands after proper restoration could be a great treasure. Also included is an appraisal from February 1985 most likely for insurance purposes.
