This box is in good condition. The music system does not work and will have to be restored (we have the key).
A note: some small accidents, small slits and micro-chips and small restorations on the ebonite, well look at the photos (see the red arrows).
Charles Goodyear obtained ebonite in 1839 by subjecting natural rubber to a prolonged (and extreme) vulcanization process. Its color close to that of ebony is at the origin of its name. Her brother Nelson Goodyear patented and marketed it in 1851.
