      Google will help with ID.
      This is the first that came up:

      Hi, Jld9912. :-)

      racer4four is quite right. Google turns up more than a few examples of six, eight, ten, and 12 airs (songs) Columbia music boxes.

      The history of Columbia music boxes seems a bit difficult to chase down, and this interesting piece illustrates how tangled the history of recorded music in general is:

      The author/OP might be able to point you in the right direction:
