). Like others have said, it is a really unique piece. And if you are the car person I am thinking you are (from what I have seen in posts- but again, maybe I have you mixed up with someone else) it would be a neat piece to have around- make for a good conversation piece .
dereksbicycles, don't you really like cars though? (I am thinking it is you that I have seen post about various cars before but maybe I am wrong.) Why would you get rid of it if it was something you found interesting in the first place? When you bought it you did not know that it played music, but you bought it for a reason (something neat to tinker with?). Does the noise that it makes bother you? You might be able to take the music box out if it if it bothers you, then you might have a nice little storage box for trinkets (maybe guys don't need trinket boxes- maybe you would find a nice trinket that you would need a cool box for
! If you decide to sell you could definitely double your investment I would think!
It really looks like it was a homemade piece but maybe it was store bought. Definitely older I would think- you don't see stuff made like that nowadays. Did your mom happen to say what song it played (if she knew)? I have always liked music boxes like that- they usually play a really pretty classical piece that has a sweet tinkling sound (maybe that is why you didn't recognize that it was playing music- they are usually not very loud). I would think it would be worth at least $25, it looks to be in really good condition and is very unique. Maybe searching for music box collectors you could find someone that might pay a pretty penny for it
That is a good one! . Hey, you could find quite a few "types" of people interested in it possibly- Elvis collectors, car collectors, vintage collectors (possibly vintage toy collectors because it looks like an old wooden toy car), and music box collectors . You definitely made a good find there!
