If it could come with "TNFJ" engraved, it would be GOLDEN.

Did it ever get updated to TFFJ? Or would nostalgia be part of the charm?

I keep glancing at the subject and thinking Ben Stein, who i think of as Pip from Animaniacs.

Wonder if he played tuba?

' common theme for beer steins.

Mine is quite old, hand-painted, and mine plays Lili Marleen (Thorens - originally a Swiss gramophone manufacturer - to this day: a maker of high-end turntables). I have no idea when it was made, but I would date it pre-1965 - based on what I've read.

I would call that a stinker, but I don't think it's post-1980.

Stein-ker? Oy...

That's the same Thorens that made (and still exists as a brand) high-quality turntables for playing vinyl records. I have several of those music-box movements that came in a miscellaneous pile of watchmaker tools a while back.
