    So...
    This is a Reuge music box which plays the song "Espana Cani" which was written in 1921, I found. I couldn't find any just like yours either. In case you didn't know, they're still in business. Maybe you might see if they could help you, Good luck!

    In essence, it is a fairly modern (post WWII) fairly expensive tourist souvenir. Any similar Reuge box from the period would be a reasonable comparative item. As an auction estimate I'd see about £40 - £60.

    Is the music box still intact inside the piano? Or has someone removed the innards to make it just a trinket box?

    Hi yes the music box still works and it's an amazing song, as it's the first time listening.
    I only paid £1 from a car boot so couldn't really go wrong!
