    A music box in the shape of the Spirit of St. Louis that has a decal attached to the nose just behind the propeller that reads "Spirit of St. Louis" in black text. The propeller is connected by a shaft to the music box that is located in the body of the airplane. It contains a metal cylinder with small teeth that turns against a metal comb that is attached to a series of gears. When the key that is located on the side of the airplane is turned the music box plays and the propeller spins.
