Otto & Sons, who were neighbors of the Regina founder Eric Brackhausen.  They were social friends and as Otto became envious of the success of the Regina music boxes, he went on to produce various types, known as the Criterion, Olympia, Euphonia, and most famously the "Capital" which was a direct result of the patent infringement lawsuits filed by Regina.  As the truncated conical music disks are similar to gentleman's cuffs of the day, this type of music box is often referred to as a "Capital Cuff".  It is essentially a hybrid of cylinder and disk music boxes that were, and are to this day, absolutely unique and fascinating.This is a great item for any collection, large or small.   SHIPPING: This will be professionally packed and sent to your door via UPS or Fedex anywhere in the world.  This example is but one of many dozens that I take great pleasure and pride of owning.  You will find disk and cylinder music boxes in my inventory that range from the simplest to the grandest; incorporated in clocks, automatons and many other items that may surprise you; all are a treat and a joy for young and old.  TAKE A LOOK!  PLEASE NOTE: This music box, as are all of my offerings, are not "fix-me-uppers", problematic, or otherwise in need of anything but a new home.  Indeed, my entire house is filled from top to bottom with music boxes, phonographs and clocks, every one of which is in perfect order and enjoyed regularly.  For many years, my musical collection has expanded and tested the space limits of my home and the patience of my long-suffering wife, who occasionally demands space to display items from our other collections.  You can be assured that whatever your purchase, your complete satisfaction is my one and only goal.  All are offered with 100% return privileges as well.  Place a Bid!
