"WHERE DO I BEGIN....." THIS LOVELY MUSIC BOX PLAYS THE THEME FROM THE FAMOUS 1970 MOVIE "LOVE STORY", A MODERN CLASSIC. IT WORKS PERFECTLY AND IT IS IN WONDERFUL CONDITION. I AM CALLING THIS A "MANDOLIN" AS I BELEIVE THAT IS WHAT IT IS... IT IS VERY WELL MADE AND ACTUALLY HAS THE LOOK AND FEEL OF A REAL INSTRUMENT, THE WOOD IS LIGHTWEIGH, HIGHLY POLISHED, BEAUTIFUL GRAINS, AND NO CHIPS, CRACKS, SCRATCHES OR DAMAGE AT ALL. THE END OF THE MANDOLIN HAS A SILVER COLORED METAL JUST LIKE A REAL INSTRUMENT - THAT PART HAS A NAME BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS. THE SCREWS ON THE END ACTUALLY TURN AND TIGHTEN THE MONOFILAMENT STRINGS - BUT THIS DOES NOT PLAY AS AN INSTRUMENT - IT IS A MUSIC BOX. THE WINDER FOR THE MUSIC BOX HAS AN "S" EMBOSSED AND I HAVE HAD OTHER MUSIC BOXES WITH THIS LOGO AND I BELEIVE THEY WERE MADE IN EUROPE, PERHAPS SWITZERLAND - BUT I AM NOT CERTAIN. WHAT IS EXTRA SPECIAL ABOUT THIS ON IS THAT IT IS STILL IN IT'S ORIGINAL CASE WHICH APPEARS TO BE COVERED IN A LEATHERETTE LIKE MATERIAL AND LINED WITH A RED VELVET. IT IS IN VERY VERY GOOD CONDITION. I'M SURE THIS HAD A MAKERS LABEL AT ONE TIME BUT ALAS IT IS GONE SO I CAN NOT SAY WHERE IT WAS MADE. MOST LIKELY ITALY AS THESE WERE OFTER FROM THERE. IT MEASURES 8" LONG AND ALMOST 3" WIDE AT THE WIDEST PART. IF YOU LIKE THIS AND WANTTO SEE MROE TREASURES THEN PLEASE
