Vintage ANRI Jewelry Music Box Reuge Swiss Movement NOT PLAYING For Repair IT:
$39.99

Up for sale is a beautiful vintage mid-century ANRI Hand-Painted Wood Jewelry Music Box featuring a premium mechanical Swiss Reuge Musical Movement.

PLEASE NOTE: This item is currently NOT PLAYING and is being sold strictly "As-Is" for parts, repair, or restoration.

🎵 MECHANICS & FUNCTIONALITY DETAILS:

* Winding: The bottom T-bar winding key turns and winds up smoothly with normal resistance (it is not overwound or stripped).

* Playback Status: The music mechanism is currently stuck and DOES NOT play when the lid is lifted. It likely needs professional cleaning, internal dust removal, or fresh lubrication to free up the vintage gears.

* Hardware: Includes the original vintage Reuge scalloped flip-up winding key attached firmly to the base.

🎨 COSMETIC CONDITION:

* Hand-Painted Casing: Solid wood construction featuring an original Tyrolean folk-art floral pattern over a red-orange lid panel. The vertical lines across the panel are part of a factory-original "crackle/distressed" finish meant to give it an antique look. Shows normal, light vintage handling wear on the edges consistent with its 60+ year age.

* Interior: The box opens to a clean, vibrant red velvet-lined jewelry compartment right next to the protective wooden gear housing.

* Structural Integrity: Excellent. All four corner wooden rope-twist accents are completely intact, and the box sits securely on its original wooden ball feet.

🔍 TRIPLE MARKED BOTTOM (RARE COMPLETENESS):

Despite the silent mechanism, this piece remains highly desirable for restoration because it retains all three original factory identifiers on the base:

1. The original recessed, die-cast pewter "ANRI" pine tree emblem coin.

2. The original green/silver foil "ANRI Italy" department store export sticker.

3. The original orange Reuge paper song label (titled "Tales From The Vienna Woods").

📐 DIMENSIONS:

* Length: 9.5" inches

* Width: 6.5" inches

This item will be securely packaged with plenty of bubble wrap and care. Perfect weekend restoration project for a mechanical music box collector! Sold as-is, no returns.
