Offered is a vintage mandolin music boxpurchased in Italy in the 1970’s.
The mandolin measures about9 ½ inches long 3 ¼ inches wide and about 3 inches deep at the most bulbous portion of the body
It plays “O Sole Mio” or “It’s Now or Never”.
There are various stickers on the mandolin. One sticker says: Piano Sorrento Made in Italy. Another is a price tag I think: Sorrento Prezzo Imp L8000. A third gives the song title: O Sole Mio. One simply says Made in Italy.
The body of the mandolin is a deep brown/ burgundy plastic. The top in inlaid wood.
The music box has been displayed on my dresser for almost 50 years. One of the paper tags has badly faded, one has acquired age spots. The plastic has some age spots. Most of which are difficult to see because of the dark color. It could use a dusting and cleaning.
The clover shaped tops have cracked off two of the tiny tuning pins. There are a couple of spots where the decorators have mistakenly dabbed tiny stray smears of white paint.
The tuning pins and strings are purely decorative.
The music box plays well. There is a little white on/off pin at the back of the mandolin.
