Themusicboxman collects music boxes and musical toys (only with manual music mechanisms) from roughly 1945-1990, with an emphasis on Japanese music boxes, but also from many other Asian (excluding mostly China), European and American countries. Many vintage Music Boxes are still available, but Musical Toys, last produced in the Eighties, are vanishing.
We hope that this collection on the Web will function as a kind of Virtual Museum (however incomplete) to show the many ways music boxes and musical toys were made in that period. The aim is to give a broad view of all kind of music boxes produced in the period 1945-1990, and leaving it to others, as there are, to collect only certain sub-collections in depth.
