The original music box mechanism works well (see video in photo section to hear it play, song unknown)

Marked "Japan" on the bottom
This box is a great display or restoration piece and still functions as a jewelry/music box. Please review all photos for condition and details. There is typical vintage wear and paint loss, plus the issues noted above. Video available in the listing so you can hear the music box play.
