Height of case 10 1/2 x width 31 x depth 13 inches; length of cylinders 14 inches.
Condition Report: In good, stable condition overall. Retains the winding key and three cylinders total. Takes and wind and runs. The combs and teeth appear fully in tact. The case appears to have been tripped of its original patina, but it is mostly even surface throughout with darker wood to the carved decoration. Few losses to the pegs of the cylinders.
