How to Choose Music Boxes
--Types of Music Boxes--
There are many different types of music boxes from which to choose, ranging from beautiful inlaid music boxes to exquisite wooden keepsake boxes and carousel music boxes. Among the most popular types of music boxes are antique music boxes, traditional music boxes, Swiss music boxes, and Vermont hand-made music boxes. Antique music boxes are generally considered to be any that were made before World War I. Examples of antique music boxes are snuffboxes, pocket watches, spring-wound cartel boxes, and hand-cranked music boxes. Traditional music boxes are those that have been made since 1900, and include ballerina music boxes, carousel music boxes, children's jewelry boxes, etc. They also include many of the finer disc-playing boxes. Music boxes produced in Switzerland include a baby stuffed animal box with a 18 note movement, a rosewood box in burr wood, chalets, jewelry boxes with inlay designs, and traditional music boxes. Hand-made music boxes from Vermont include 15 ˝ inch disc music movement, table and upright music boxes; twin disc music boxes which have an inlaid design on the cabinet; and table-style music boxes which have Queen styled legs.
--Selecting Music Boxes--
For the music box and antique collector, or for the gift buyer, there are many types and styles to choose from. It is important to consider certain factors when choosing a music box. If you are searching for the right gift for someone whom you feel will enjoy owning a music box, consider the recipient. If it is a child, you may want to avoid particularly expensive or fragile music boxes. If it is a collector, you may want to verify that the recipient does not already own examples of that particular music box. If the music box is to add to your own collection, be careful when purchasing from estate sales, antique shops, or art galleries, as the music box may not be returnable if you change your mind once you get home and add it to your collection.
--Music boxes can be lovely items of décor; valuable collectibles; or whimsical gifts. Magicyellow.com can help you find the music boxes you are looking for.

Some music boxes are ornamental boxes that play music when their lids are lifted and other music boxes are ornamental objects that play music. All music boxes are powered by a wind-up spring and play music when pins on a revolving cylinder strike the tuned teeth of a steel comb. Music boxes are highly collectable and collectors often shop at music box specialty stores. Some music box retailers sell new music boxes and others specialize in pre-owned and antique music boxes. Some makers of music boxes manufacture music boxes that are more collectable than the boxes of other music box makers. People often give music boxes as gifts and non-collectors frequent music box stores when gift shopping.
