Misc. Information |
No idea what this should represent. Top looks like a radio, or organ church? Take it that something was standing on the 5 brown points on top, but no idea what that could be. Looking at the back of the top and the back of the base, the 2 pieces are from the same wood and belong together. However, doubt the music mechanism is correct. It has a on/off switch, NOT in use and not usable this way. On the inner side of the base there is a space for a conduct of a switch, but that does not line up with plastic lid under base. Conclusion, there has been some heavy changes made to the construction at some point and plastic lid most likely not original (was wood most likely). Music mechanism seems original and not replaced, in taking it out it lines up with holes. |
