<p>[QUOTE="EllaMaryland, post: 9558861, member: 83072"]Hello! I need help identifying if this music box is something I should get professionally appraised/insured. I know my late nana received it from her husband a long time ago (40-75 years?). Personally, I was in love with it every time I visited as a small child (30 years ago), and now my toddler won't go to bed without it. Thus the question: should I get this appraised and insured in case my toddler breaks it, if it would cost a fortune to repair properly? I tried to find a range online and at the low end of $200-$300, I'm not too bothered if my toddler makes a big scratch. If it's in the thousands, I will probably get it insured so it can be repaired. </p><p><br /></p><p>Reuge Sainte Croixe. French titles of 3 songs (not sure where it was purchased). 50 note music box. 1080 ABC on inside cover. "Made in Switzerland" on bottom, with crank saying "Reuge Music"; no other bottom markings or serial number I can locate. Functional on/off switch on front. All wood. Fully functional. Excellent for toddler tutu dancing and calming to sleep <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
