This is part of an estate and I'm not an expert but I will be as honest as possible about what I see. It is by no means perfect but the flaws it does have are minor. The base measures 12 1/8 x 8 5/8, approx. 4 1/4 high (not counting the legs). It plays three songs but I know the picture is a little blurry so I will note them: Claire de lune - C. DeBussy, The Blue Danube - J. Strauss, Anniversary - J. Ivanovici. The label also states CH 3/72 on the bottom left and 31 on the bottom right. Flaws that I have noticed are: Sticky spots (2) where the pads from the top meet the inner surface. A mild soap would probably remove them but I choose to let the buyer do it Just below the on/off switch on the front (black bottom ring), there is a "cut" mark at a 45 degree angle about 1 inch long. My guess would be from unpacking but I wasn't there when it was received.Finally, on the base, there is a chip in a recessed area close to the center. This is 100% unnoticable unless the box is turned over.It has a beautiful high gloss finish with a flower pattern on the top. We found the canceled check for this box and he paid $1800 for it new. I'm sure that my price will be considered reasonable even with the mentioned minor flaws.
