Description

Early Soviet music box commemorating the launch of Sputnik, measuring approximately 7.5″ x 4.5″ x 6.5″, featuring small metal replica of the first satellite atop a clear plastic stand, set upon a metal Earth base that features the date of the launch, "4-X-1957, CCCP." The musical mechanism has evidently been replaced, as the box plays the English carol 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas' rather than the patriotic Russian anthem 'Wide is My Motherland.' In fine condition, with a small dent to the Earth base.
