The Prize: Blue Danube is a
waltz by the Austrian composer
Johann Strauss II, and it plays in this lovely little inlaid ring music box. This box is obviously made by Sorrento, (
see examples here) which is extremely collectible. This old world styling comes from years of woodworking skills in Campania, Italy outside of Naples. The box itself bears the sticker, "Made in Italy." The parts are marked Swiss made, and the musical movement is Romance, (aka Swiss Reuge with 18 note (?) movement. It has a pink velvet lining and is made to hold your special rings, like wedding rings, possibly two to three at the most. It is small, about 4" long x 3.5" wide. Four little goldtone feet make it stand so lovely, and this has violin inlaid. It was imported by wholesaler Musical Specialities, Inc probably about 1995-1996 for sale in the States. The cheapest I have seen this particular model list for is $162, on sale for $99.00 here (plus $12 for the Reuge movement would total $111.)
So thanks to our partners we are able to give away this high priced awesome music box that would make a great gift!
