Absolutely beautiful vintage chrome with wooden bottom key wound musical base/stand. Made by Lador Swiss Switzerland. After some research I believe this is a Christmas tree stand. Commonly used for feather Christmas trees. I have tested & the music box works.
Im unsure if its suppose to revolve? Some I seen do rotate & some do not.
You turn the key on top several times then you turn the left lever forward & pull up & the music will start playing. Then to stop you simply switch the lever on the right & the music stops playing.The condition is great for its age. The chrome is excellent with only light surface scratches.
The wood base is also nice with a few spots of wear (last photo) but not to bad. Could use a good oiling to internal parts. This is exactly the way I acquired it.Measures 133/4 in diameter across wood base & stands 31/4 tall not including key or post. Post is 11/2 tall & 3/8 in diameter. There is a good chance we can settle any issues you may have. I strongly believe in "A picture is worth a thousand words" so I strive to take several quality photos of all angles of the actual item you will be receiving.
