Stein has a recess for the music box, and as such probably always had one in it, and the "keepers" that hold the plywood in the base do appear old. When purchased several years ago, the antique dealer told my wife about the "skull and bones" music, but I don't know much beyond this. I have always wondered if there could be any validity to this tale, or if he was just "embellishing" to make the sale. The fact that the music box installation seemed newer than the stein could mean that someone might have switched the music. In any case, I guess this will have to go down as just another one of life's unanswered questions. Thanks for your response.
