A rare early 3 air mandolin musical box by Francois Nicole, an unusual and high quality key wound Swiss musical box with a 26cms long cylinder, with rigid notation markings and fine teeth (approx 219), with named levers on one side of the box and winding hole, and with a small lever on the other side which releases the mechanism. With a retailers plaque inside for 'Ruegger, Place De Bel-Air, A Geneve' and also one to the lid, and with a number to the base (serial number, 5747), in a fruitwood case with brass recessed handles and with it's winding handle. Plays part of the overture of La Gazza Ladra by Rossini. Case 40cms across *According to Roy Ison's research, it is believed that all early musical boxes with rigid notation lines on the cylinder were made by Francois Nicole. There are three known Nicole boxes with Ruegger plaques, with this being the fourth. The Serial Number #5747 dates the box to circa 1826/27, shortly before the time when François Nicole began to stamp his name on the combs. The grid markings, as on the cylinder of #5747, became referred to as “rigid notationâ€; it bespeaks an early movement by François Nicole, the only maker known to have used it; in such, the cylinder is scored with both circumferential & lateral lines to give a grid that helped the pinners judge where the pin pricks were to be made prior to drilling. Tooling improvements later obviated the need for such markings. My thanks to the Musical Box Society of Great Britain for their help in providing these details and confirming that this is made by Francois Nicole, This has passed through the family from a relation connected to the Luttrell family of Dunster Castle, they were believed to have travelled widely through Europe in the 19thc and it's possible it was acquired at that time. *To listen to the music box playing, please contact Lawrences and we will send a link. *CR The mechanism is working and the teeth and tips seem fine generally and intact, the fly wheel is quite noisy sometimes as it moves around and needs some attention (due to lack of servicing), a little discolouration/rust spots to the comb in places which could do with a little clean, I don't think this has been serviced for some time and needs a good thorough service by a specialist.. Case, the escutcheon plate is loose inside and needs re fixing into place.

A Gretsch Chet Atkins 'Country Gentleman' electric guitar, circa 1963 Body: Hollow dark cherry mahogany, ivorine bindings, floating scratchplate Neck: Maple Fingerboard: Ebony, inlaid pearloid markers, 22 frets Headstock: Solid, black lacquer top, inlaid pearloid logo, applied Chet Atkins plaque, Grover gilt machine heads Pickups: 2 Bridge: Gretsch Bigsby roller tremolo Controls: 1 volume, 2 tone, 3 three-way switches, 2 damper switches Size: 42" overall, scale length Accompaniments: Period hard case Provenance:The Neil Jackson collection. Footnote:The Gretsch Country Gentleman guitar, introduced in 1957, is one of the most iconic models produced by the firm, designed in collaboration with the legendary guitarist Chet Atkins, who sought a sleek, stylish instrument with a versatile tone suitable for various music styles.The original Gretsch Country Gentleman featured a hollow body design with a double-cutaway shape, allowing for easier access to the higher frets. It was made of laminated maple and had a 17 inch wide body with a stylish walnut finish. The guitar also came equipped with unique 'hump block' inlays, a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece, and Gretsch's 'Filter'Tron' humbucking pickups, which provided a warm, clear sound with reduced noise, making it suitable for both country and rock musicians.The Country Gentleman gained widespread popularity in the early 1960s, particularly after George Harrison of The Beatles adopted it as his main guitar. Harrison's use of the guitar on numerous Beatles recordings, such as I Want to Hold Your Hand and during their iconic 1964 performance on The Ed Sullivan Show, solidified the instrument's place in rock history and led to a surge in its popularity.Over the years, Gretsch has released several versions and reissues of the Country Gentleman, maintaining the guitar's classic aesthetic while incorporating modern innovations to meet contemporary players' needs. Today, the Gretsch Country Gentleman remains a beloved and sought-after model, celebrated for its rich heritage, distinctive sound, and connection to some of the most influential guitarists in music history.Chet Atkins (1924–2001) was an influential American guitarist, songwriter, and record producer, widely regarded as one of the most important figures in the development of country music and the Nashville sound. Born in Luttrell, Tennessee, Atkins displayed an early talent for music, learning to play the guitar, mandolin, and fiddle. His innovative fingerpicking style, influenced by Merle Travis, Django Reinhardt, and Les Paul, set him apart as a guitarist and earned him the nicknames 'Mister Guitar' and 'The Country Gentleman'. Condition:Immediately playable. Some signs of age and use including small chips and light scratches, wear to gilding on tailpiece and tremolo arm and wear to gilding on tuners. The dampers have both vulcanised. There is some light craquelure to the headstock. The case is heavily worn.
