A most unusual, wind-up, musical desk set. The top panel that houses the desk organizer components is spring loaded and mechanical, so when the top is opened, the desk components come up. The music box plays a lilting meloncholy tune. Great original paint and screaming design that defines the jazz age, art deco, streamlined industrial, zig-zag aesthetic. In good, albeit used, overall condition. Desk set is missing a knob and there is some pitting to chromium and copper detailing on the top of this oddity.
