Vintage 1953 Mattel Farmer in the Dell Tin Wind-up Music Box 503 in ORIGINAL BOX

Description

Please see ALL of the photos, this is the exact Musical Box (and ORIGINAL CARDBOARD BOX) you will receive.  The photographs are a direct representation of the condition of the unit.  Please zoom in on all of the photos to determine the condition for yourself.
The musical box is in EXCELLENT COSMETIC CONDITION, showing minimal surface wear or use.  The outsider tin is in near perfect condition.  The tin on the inside has some tarnishing (not visible unless you shine a light into the back of the toy (see pic #3 above for a visual)  The base of the toy measures 9.5" x 9.5"
The toy works intermittently.  It sometimes takes awhile to get the music to play (keep turning the lever, sometimes going counterclockwise to get it to start)  At the end of each verse, the characters rotate on the platform.   That being said, we are not sure if there is something permanently wrong that needs to be fixed, or if the toy is just old and worn from 60+ years in storage.  Either way, it is being SOLD AS IS.
The original box is in good condition considering the age.  The box is complete with all the flaps intact.  There are some surface marks, rips and tears as seen in the photos.
We are happy to provide additional photos or answer any questions if needed.
