Seek Dates of Musical Box Tunes
By Phil Procter

I have just bought a four-air musical box and need some help in
finding out the composers and dates when the tunes were composed
please.  They are:-

1)  Some Day, by "Lamothe"
2)  Sweet Violets, by unknown.
3)  New Paris, by unknown.
4)  Erminie, by "Jakobowski"

I am trying to identify the box and this will help with its earliest
date of manufacture.

Thanks
Phil Procter

 [ The piece by Jakobowski is probably "Lullaby" from the comic opera
 [ "Erminie" that opened in London in October 1885.  A MIDI file is at
