Lot Details & Additional Photographs
Both with single comb and 4 1/2-inch swiss cylinder movements under glass, within a rectangular wooden case, molded hinged lid with bracket feet, the larger circa 1900, with manual lever arm to the left of the cylinder, change/repeat and stop/play lever options to the right, unmarked (5 1/4 x 15 x 8 in.); the smaller by Thorens, mid-20th century, with manual wind to the underside, floral marquetry to the lid, signed to the tune sheet interior and underside (3 x 9 x 5 1/4 in.).

Both not operating at the time of review; comb teeth are largely intact, the larger with teeth missing on distal ends; larger with later glass and glazing; surface wear and scratches to both cases.
