vintage reuge music box swiss musical movement. Maker: The movement is by Reuge Music, a luxury Swiss manufacturer founded in 1865. The box itself was likely sold or distributed by The San Francisco Music Box Company, which was a major retailer for high-quality music boxes in the late 20th century. Song: The red label indicates it plays "The Harmonious Blacksmith," which is the popular name for the final movement of George Frideric Handel's Harpsichord Suite No. 5 in E major. • Design: It features a "clear view" glass (or lucite) case, which was a popular style designed to showcase the intricate brass machinery while it plays. The brass "paw" feet and the lever on the back are characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century models. 36 note works great
