A wonderful piece of music history with plenty of old-fashioned character. This vintage Arto Word Roll box features beautifully illustrated graphics along the exterior, including a series of distinguished historical figures surrounded by intricate decorative borders. The top is adorned with additional period artwork, giving the box an especially charming, antique look.
Inside is an original Arto Word Roll No. 863, featuring “Dear Little Boy of Mine,” a song arranged for the player piano. The original paper roll and printed label remain with the box, adding to its historical appeal and making this a great piece for collectors of antique music, player piano memorabilia, or early 20th-century Americana.
The aged patina, detailed graphics, and original contents make this an especially unique decorative piece—perfect displayed on a shelf, piano, music room, or vintage-inspired collection.
Condition: Good vintage condition but visible age spots. Paper roll is free from major tears. See photos for more details on condition.
Measurements: 12.5in long, 2.25in tall, 2.25in deep. Length of roll unknown as I have no fully removed it from the box.
