Long Silver Plated Zimbalist Music Box

Zimbalist Long Cylindrical Music Box

Sorry this item has been sold. Circa 1950s, this unusual music box was designed by Fred Zimbalist, a cousin of Ephrem Zimbalist, Sr. (the famed concert violinist).
Silver pieces such as this one were all hand tooled in India and no two were exactly the same.
Brass with silver nickel plating, features ornate tooling. with a nice sized chamber to hold jewelry and other sentimental things. When you lift the lid of this lovely box it plays an 18 note Reuge mechanism "Wind Beneath My Wings" which is most probably not the original tune but Swiss and collectible nevertheless.
