An original Polyphon, Leipzig made and twenty steel discs.

A large Victorian "The Britannia" musical box, to play 12 inch polyphon discs, the cabinet being crossbanded and ebonised. Width 24.5 ins. CONDITION REPORT: There is only one disc with the player. This is the Blue Danube Waltz. The disc seems to play as it should and is tuneful. The mechanism winds as it should. It does stop and play and also operates at half speed if desired. Three of the teeth on the comb are damaged. Two have missing tips and one is 3/4 missing. The others all appear to be in good order. The inside of the case is dirty and dusty and there are scuff marks as one would expect to the underside of the lid, however the majority of the transfer print is clear and present with only some minor losses. The exterior of the case is a little tired and scuffed. The transfer print to the lid is for the most part missing. There are no losses to the lid simply scuffs and scratches. The same can be said for the main body of the case which is not structurally damaged but scuffed around the feet and foot rim and all over the main body. It is however in good, original, unrestored condition.
