All clasps & hinges work perfectly. The bevelled mirror is excellent & it gives a perfect reflection.Turn the winder three quarter turns in a clockwise direction, pull up the stopper and the musical box plays its enchanting tune.

The tune plays for just over one minute. Originally this scene was taken from a photograph by the society photographer Baron & it bears his signature. The lid shows the ballerina Violetta Elvin dancing in 'Sleeping Beauty'. This Stratton 'Musica' measures 3 1/4" X 2 3/4" & weighs 173.4 grams.
