Music Box Holds Cordial Glasses
By mmrmaid@aol.com, forwarded

I have a music box that is about 12" high.  It is mostly round but the
really neat thing about it is that it has six skinny little doors on it
that swing open when the music is played.

When the doors are open, you see a little figure of an angel inside.
on the interior of the door is a small gold basket(?) that has a lyre
on it.  It looks as though it could have possibly held very small
cordial glasses at one time.

The box is very heavy, seems to be made of marble.  On the bottom of
the box it says "Made in Italy".  The only thing that doesn't make
sense is that it plays Love Story, which is a fairly recent (1970s)
tune.  Help?
