Buying Vintage Brass Music Powder Box With Colonial Couple In Porcelain Wind Up 1940s

buying This is a vintage, musical, powder box. The piece is a wind up piece. The crank is at the bottom. It is made of brass and has a scene of a colonial couple having a nice afternoon in porcelain in the center of the lid. The lid opens to reveal a shallow depression, where you would place your powder. There is a funny little hook that you have to catch just so when you replace the lid. I do not know what the tune is. But it is rather pleasant, if not as strong as it likely once was.

This box measures about 4.5 x 4.75 inches.

There is some very minor wear to the exterior of the box due to age. The price reflects these minor issues.

A bit about reserving Items. I am more than happy to reserve an item for you. However, recently, I have had buyers request to reserve items, only to back out at the last moment. (This has happened with at least the last 10 people who have requested to reserve an item.) While I understand that things do come up and do happen and that money is tight, this is not fair to other buyers or to me. To save time as well as hassle, I have some new policies regarding reserves.

1. You must pay (through PayPal) 20% of the item's price. This 20% will be put towards the purchase. However, this 20% is non refundable. If you have questions about this please ask. If you do not wish to put down 20%, then I cannot reserve an item for you. No exceptions.
2. You MUST tell me when you plan to purchase the item you have reserved.
3. If you cannot purchase the item by the date you have selected, please let me know. 4. If you do not purchase the item by the date you have given me, I will contact you. If I do not hear back from you, I will open the listing up to other buyers.

If you purchase an item that has been reserved for another buyer, I will unfortunately have to cancel the transaction and refund your payment.

Lastly, on the subject of reserved items, I must please ask, if you really do not intend to purchase the item, please do not ask me to reserve it for you. My time, as well as your time, is precious.

Thank you very much for your cooperation and your understanding.
