Puzzle box
I have yet to purchase a working music box from the Pyramid Gallery largely due to the sheer bewildering variety of Philip LeMarchand designs on offer.
In the year of 1749, LeMarchand produced fifteen documented puzzle / music boxes. These designs soon became the rage of Europe...
I have seen plastic, glass and wooden models, even a reconfigured Rubik's cube, along these lines but these are the first working musical versions I know of. All too collectible. At four-hundred dollars for a working puzzle version, I am both frustrated and pleased to see some folks are even more devoted to their puzzle box collection than I am.
