Reuge box. Unknown melody and bottom label is incorrect

I received a handful of music boxes from my grandma.

my grandad’s old music box/piano trinket that our family has had forever but no clue what song… nothing written anywhere on it sadly :(

Picked this up from the thrift today. If it helps at all, it's from the Bombay company, the sticker and stamp say "Z26" and "084". I'd appreciate any information you might have on this cute little ring box, even if you don't know the song (which is my main concern). It almost sounds like Canon in D for half a second here and there, but it certainly isn't.

Oval silver plate things remembered music box gifted to me in 1999 when I was born by my aunt and uncle, no clue what song it is

Hi everyone,
My name is Eddie. I build mechanical sculptures, animatronics, and automata in my workshop.

I’m currently working on a series of automata/music box sculptures featuring dystopian animals with mechanical characteristics in a post-apocalyptic world.

In this video you can see KBTO-M, a Hercules beetle, which is the first piece in the series.

I’d really appreciate any thoughts or feedback from the community.

Works as should… anybody who can tell me more about?? it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Could anyone help me figure it out? It’s driving me nuts lol

k-mart porcelain bird music box, cannot identify the tune it plays. please help…

Can anyone help which song this is and which manufacturer produced the music box within the turtle?

Please help me find a music box like this. A relative has this beauty and the beast music box (I used to have Swan Lake but no idea where that’s ended up) & my little boy finds it really calming.

I’ve looked online but all the hand crank music boxes I can find look really flimsy.

I’d like to find one like this where the box is a little bit thicker (if that even makes sense), & he would love it to be exactly like this but happy with a close enough.

He’s asked for Star Wars & Beauty and the Beast.

Thank you everyone. I’m going on a hunt for my Swan Lake - I hope it’s tidied away not given away!

Also, I’m UK based.

so the music box itself does not really work so I literally had to force it for two minutes straight to push some notes out and then I chopped it up (not the best) and I can’t really pin point the song still.. any ideas? (it’s a 18 note)

I tried and tried to find this music box melody but I officially give up 🫡 it reminds me of a song but I can’t figure it out, help.

Manufacturer: Sankyo
Mechanism patent: U.S.P. 4458573
Tune code: A92
It has 18 teeth

I had the music box physically and noted down all the notes by number and in order, I then used an app to note it down and was hoping if anyone here in the community recognize this song? It’s from an old snowglobe with the Virgin Mary holding the dead body of Jesus.
The music box is from a company called Toyo

Greetings folks, I would like to introduce you all to this Thorens 36 note 3 tune music box that plays La Traviata, Rigoletto, and II Trovatore. This was my birthday present from an antique shop. At first the cylinder was stuck playing the wrong notes and didn’t change songs, so I fixed it and is working again.
