Manufactured by Ch. Knusli, Zurich Switzerland (1873-1894). Commonly referred to as a "Mermod" music box, this is likely later 1800's based on the "E. Jaccard Jewelry Co, St. Louis" label inside lid. Mermod & Jaccard had been business partners early on, descendents and other partners had spread the company, until in 1901 Mermod & Jaccard bought out the E. Jaccard Jewelry Company, as well as Merrick, Walsh & Phelps. Eventually changing the firm's name to Mermod, Jaccard & King in 1905. Plays beautifully with rich sound, has start/stop ability, as well as the ability to repeat a song and a dial selector that tells you which song is currently playing. Measures 6.75" x 9.25" x 22".
