🎶 This plays “You’ve got a friend".
Otagiri was an importer of Japanese stoneware and ceramics between 1958 and 1994. Perfectly functional mechanism. There’s an on/off toggle on the bottom of the music box. Has a good weight to it, take note of a chip on the base of the music box, also has some scuffs.
IMPORTANT: Music Box Care
Music box mechanisms can be damaged when overwound, hence generally I do not wind more than 3/4 of a full turn at one go! Let the music play out and wind it again instead of winding excessively. Refer to video for demonstration.
