This Steinbacher music box features a woman and two kids playing stringed instruments for a baby in front of a trellis with roses. It's in very good condition with one tiny crack in it. It has thoren's movement. A sticker says made in Switzerland. The original box is in good condition with some minor blemishes / fading. One piece of the top flayed and had been glued.
