The box is in good condition, with only occasional wear to the tortoiseshell, principally on the base where it has been moved around, the movement plays a tune and there are two levers at the front, the left hand one appears to start and stop and the right hand one may allow you play different tunes but we have not established if this is the case, on the front panel one of the left hand screws is a replacement, otherwise good.
