I have had this for a few years now & it still plays it's tune. I do have more information but I will have to dig through a few things to find it then I will be able to up date this message. I haven't found out the tune but I found the other or proper information that is needed so I'm hoping someone can come up with a age for me. Here goes. It's made in Italy by Sorrento it has a black & gold sticker with a musical note cannot display will have to wait till it is dug out, it also has a S & M that overlaps in a blue & gold sticker. The winder has a S on it. The velvet inside is red. It is made from Walnut to my knowledge & I am not Wright up to date with wood. But from looking at the Torna a Sorrento site it is what it looked like.
Thanks for the love aghcollect
So what is the tune? Nice box!
Zowie, I have one like this, too. I am going upstairs to check it out!
beautiful box!!!!!
Thank you one & all for your nice comments, I'm partial to it myself. Kev I'm not sure of the tune but it's relaxing I'll have to climb up & check to see if it's in it's plastic tub wear other thing's are packed. I have so many different jewellery boxes I didn't have the room to display them. I seen the owner about a bigger place maybe then if one comes up
It sure is & great to own also thank you for your kind words.
freiheit did you find what was needed on your jewellery box I had to up date my info as had some spelling wrong. I asked Mark what the tune was & he cannot think of it either so it looks like climbing when I get my strength back just spent the last week in bed down & out again wish I knew when it was going to happen so another birthday in bed I cannot think of the last time I had the day out of bed on my birthday. It can also be a said day I try not to dwell on it too much as that's the same day they buried my favourite sister. I would swap all the rest for her any day I know it sounds horrible but I don't mean to sound that mean. She was one of the best
Dear Zowie, I am sorry to hear that you are not too well and have to spend time in bed. I sincerely hope you are doing better soon. I checked my box and it turned out it is the only music box I have without a label on the back, however, the actual mechanical music box was made in Japan. I am not sure if the whole box was made there too. As for the tune it plays, I have no idea what it is called. When I have some time I will post mine too.
Gudrun
It will be great to be seen
Also thanks for the caring I didn't mean to write it down it just came out. Most of my days seem to be this way now days it could all be worse not being able to handle food id the hardest that's life
could be San Francisco Music Box Co.; they sold boxes like this in the 1990s and their box usually were only marked with 'made in Italy' stickers.
freiheit I just going through my post & see you have already seen my I'm a bit thick but never mind I don't know what the works are I just assumed the same as the maker of my box. learn something new every day. Gudrun I would love to see your will pop over to see if you have posted yet. TallCakes mine is made in Italy by the Torna A Sorrento Company it has all it's labels but like freiheit I do not know the tune so sorry Kev I cannot answer your question. Thank you everyone for the loves so sorry for taking so long to get back. Have a top day everyone.
