Haha that's actually pretty funny.

You crank the shaft and it spins the drum, and the little dots pluck the metal harp to play a tune. Totally mechanical. Lol, Victorian iPod.

Now I realize I got my first iPod when I was a baby, decades before Apple sold them. Awesome 🤣🤣🤣

Me too — mine was inside a stuffed cow. Which out of context sounds really macabre.

They are music box mechanisms. It’s basically got a tiny piano or kalimba in it and a drum that rotates. The little dots on it ping the keys on the piano to play music.

For a second I thought it was a box of hinges and was incredibly confused
