A very fine, rare and early musical treasure

I'm making a short video to highlight a piece that's very fine, very rare. So this is an
antique musical pocket watch fob dating to the early 1800s and on either side of the fob are
just absolutely highly detailed and wonderful. There's a hippocampus on either side. That's a
beast with a horse and a serpent like body and tail. Wonderful work. A solid 18 karat gold or
better. I suspect it's 22 karat gold but I don't have that testing solution and I don't like to
drop acid on my pieces. So fully service the mechanism and most importantly this plays as
it should. So let's hear this play. And it plays exactly as it should. So it plays a complete song
that's one revolution of the tiny barrelette cylinder inside. They're just wonderful pieces
and there isn't a whole lot of documentation on these. There really isn't any videos and that's
I'm doing such. Take care.
