Old bird music box

isabella1 · Apr 4, 2013

I bought this today for $1. I know nothing about them but wasn't going to pass it up. Any ideads about it? Says on the bottom Japan. The bird turns and plays music. It does not sing.

This is some other stuff I got too:

Also not pictured are 10 snap on clocks from the 1980's that sell online for $75 each! Paid $117 for everything.

If you can't identify the music box - you might consider removing the three screws on the bottom and see if their is any identification, etc. inside the puppy.

The budweiser tray is good but common, You may not make that much but it will most likely sell.

Neat stuff. I bet someone will want that hubcap clock. Will you be using the retro or mid-century keyword on it? Google images search might be of assistance on the birdcage.

This was a clean our of their grandparents House. They have tons more stuff to put out. I'm planning on going back tomorrow morning. Hopefully they have some new stuff out. I offered to help them put it out but they turn the offer down. There is a whole room full of antique toys that I know nothing about. Another room with antique glass and other objects that I have no idea about. The ladies husband was not there. So she was letting stuff go pretty cheap. They said they want to sell everything and get out. It's a huge storage unit full. They said they used to keep for old Corvettes in it. But they sold them already. And they're bringing all the stuff to the unit to sell. I wish I had someone with me that had more knowledge about this stuff! She open one crate and there was of wood box full of silver coins. I would guess easily thousand dollars face. But she wouldn't even let me look in them. She said her son collects coins. So they were all going to him I felt pretty sick I would at least like to look through them. Oh well I'll go back tomorrow and take my 18-month-old baby. She seems to have the magic trick for some reason!

Keep an eye out for Japanese battery powered toys from the '50s and '60s. There were several companies that made and sold them; Amico is the only one I can remember right now. They sell very well and for top dollar. The boxes are very important. Here's a link to check out:BURGER CHEF BATTERY OPERATED TOY BOX ONLY JAPAN AMICO | eBay
