I have a Nicole cylinder musical box made in 1841 which plays what sound like early English or Scottish dance tunes. THe tune card lists two titles as "Jenny Jones" and "In the days when we went gypseying". Both are hauntingly lovely melodies but I cannot find a trace of either name in any database so far. I wonder if anyone can help? I am a restorer of these machines and have so far found four other cylinder musical boxes from the period of 1838 - 1880 that play these same tunes. Any help will be much appreciated! Please e-mail me if you have any suggestions Thanks! [e-mail]

Regarding my earlier post about the musical box tunes, I should clarify that I already have the titles but was just seeking information on these tunes. Thanks.
