Antique Hand Carved Wood SWISS MUSIC BOX F PETER TRAUFFER
You are looking at a rare
Antique Hand Carved Wood SWISS MUSIC BOX
built by F PETER TRAUFFER.
I inherited this piece from my great aunt who was born in 1898.
She took a world tour in 1931.
I believe this piece was purchased on that trip. It measures 14" long by 3-1/2" tall by 9-1/4" wide. Bottom has all the original stickers. I do not recognize the tune it plays.
A fellow eBayer contacted me with this information:
I thought you might like to know that F Peter-Trauffer stands for Frau Peter-Trauffer who owned the gift shop where this was sold (Margaret Trauffer who married Fritz Peter was my husband's great aunt). Although many items in her store were carved by Trauffer's there were others as well. This is a very common mistake. I have attached a picture of Margaret and Jakob Trauffer in front of her father's store (my husband's great, great grandfather Johanne). The Trauffer's sometimes signed with a simple T somewhere on the piece. The lady is Great Aunt Margaret. The pictures are from about when your great aunt made her trip.
