Up for sale is a beautiful vintage Swiss-made Reuge dancing ballerina music box automaton. This classic mechanical piece features a miniature ballerina in a star-patterned dress who twirls and moves gracefully across the green felt stage.
Mechanical Condition:
Mechanically, this piece is in perfect working condition. The Swiss Reuge movement winds smoothly, plays beautifully, and the ballerina dances flawlessly without any hesitation or sticking.
Cosmetic Condition:
Please note there is a small crack in the protective shield surrounding the ballerina, as well as a small smudge on it. The wood base, metal trim, and bottom labels show normal vintage character. Please review all high-resolution photos closely to inspect these cosmetic details.
The bottom plate retains its original labels, including a red song title sticker for "Anniversary Song" and "Donauwellen" (The Blue Danube Waltz), alongside a classic shop sticker from the renowned New York antique music box specialist, Rita Ford Inc.
