Music Box, Airplane Model, Lindbergh, King Collection

This brown music box features a carved replica of the Spirit of St. Louis attached to the music box by a pole that runs from the bottom of the airplane through a hole in the top of the box. The tail of the airplane is attached to the box by a brass hinge. When the music is playing the airplane moves up and down on the bar that is attached to a wheel inside of the box. The box also has a wodden pole with a fabric wind sock next to the airplane. The long sides of the box each have a carved piece of wood that resembles clouds. The front of the box has a metal plaque that reads "THE SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS CHARLES LINDBERGH NEW YORK TO PARIS MAY 20, 1927" The bottom of the box has a key that is used to wind the gears. There is also another small knob that can be turned to stop the box from playing mid-song.
