[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 38714, member: 59"]Welcome, zongda. Not an expert on such things, but my humble opinion is that the box and musical mechanism are contemporary to each other and therefore no older than 1986 when the Phantom of the Opera was first shown. An inexpensive box to begin with - because of the way cardboard was used inside and the breakdown of the crude on/off mechanism. I was wondering whether it was "homemade" by the insertion of the music player into a slightly older box until I saw the underside and its sticker. A very 80's item I'm afraid or possibly even newer since that song became a classic.[/QUOTE]
