Description
Another fine and early musical movement (c1820-30), unknown maker but with stamp mark on brass comb block "ALCie" & serial # "5571". Comb consists of 14 sections with 70 teeth (12 w/5teeth each, bass end w/4 & high treble section having 6). The case is oftin with typical applied lithograph atop the lid & floral bordering all around. It has not survived terribly well over the past 200 years, but neither would most of us!It lacks any program card, has hand scribed name inside of the lid "James Bain, 1834", andthe lid lacks it's front & left side aprons. The movement however is in quite nice condition, very good sounding, excellent cylinder pinning as is the comb, teeth, gearing, etc...
This & other instruments are currently available.
