Australian Auction of Mech. Musical Instruments
By Colin MacKinnon

Hassall Auctions will hold a private museum auction in Queensland,
Australia, on 29th September, 2002.  Inspection day is 28th September.
It would be described as an "eclectic offering to suit all tastes"!
Included are some mechanical music items.

Click on  http://www.hassalls.com.au/on7/auction-onsite7.html
then scroll down to item 120 and the following items, through to around
item 236.  (Or maybe you are interested in Item 6, the Rolls Royce once
belonging to Princess Margaret.)  Click on item numbers underlined and
in blue to see a photo.

PS:  Lot No. 136 is listed as "Miniature Piano from Submarine".  It has
a photo.  Apparently it was played by that bloke with the 12" pianist.
