Orchestral Musical Box, c. 1890

No. 22658, No. 7080 (on governor-cock), probably by Arthur Junod, playing twelve airs, with 61 musical and percussion teeth (complete, one neat tooth repair), drum, five bells and castanet, in grained case with facsimile tune-sheet, inlaid lid and pair of figural plaster (?) candle-holders modelled as a jester and a Mephistophelean character, the latter with indistinct incised mark "LS", wd. 25 ¼ in. (64 cm), cylinder 13 in. (33 cm), playing condition, spring somewhat loose in arbor - will require attention. The candle-holders are an unusual addition, apparently of the period, but probably not original to the musical box.

布雷克拍品等级是为了方便竞买人判断拍卖品的成色而设置的。布雷克等级用1到6级来标注外观和功能的成色，(从非常好到非常差)。 在目录图册里用括号里的2个数字来表示，前一个数字表示外观成色的级别，后一个数字表示功能成色的级别。如(3/2)表示外观成色是3(满意的)，功能成色2(好)。 成色 定义参照下列标准： 1 - 非常好 (未使用过，没有使用痕迹) 2 - 好 (新，极少的使用痕迹) 3 - 满意的 (普通的使用痕迹) 4 - 及格的 (明显的使用痕迹，某个非主要部件是后配的) 5 - 有缺陷的 (极明显的使用痕迹, 某个主要部件是后配的，功能上有缺陷，需要修理) 6 - 非常差 (严重破损, 缺少重要部件)
