4/78 Nicole Freres mini cartel serial no 22508 circa 1842
Bought at auction October 2023. Excellent condition but not running.
A tiny cartel (box is just 195mm long) purporting to be by Nicole Freres. More likely to have been made by Lecoultre Freres I am told.
Some damage to the comb - repairs in the past and one tooth damaged by me! :(
Now with The Music Box Restorer
