Description from the seller

A remarkable pre-electric item. Very cleverly made for its time. It is wound by the lever on the left, and then the spool turns. The relief on it and the strings that pass over it create the sounds. With a beautiful glass lid. Brake/clamp for stopping on the right. Certainly signs of use, key missing. See especially the photos of this beautiful item. Heavy.
