You know what they say about other people's trash.

'Trash' or 'Treasure'?

The things people throw away do amaze me some days.  I was shuffling home, at roughly 2:30am, when I past a pile of furniture, reusable shopping bags and coat hangers. Out of curiosity, I stopped to have a poke through, as you do.  Amongst the debris of this years spring clean I found a beautiful, wooden jewellery box the colour of old oak.  As I tested the draws, expecting rot or wreckage, I noticed something even better.  The jewellery box was fitted with a Sankyo hand wound steel music device.  Okay, so the varnish is blemished and one draw is missing a handle, once i heard the tune it played I couldn't resist nabbing and waltzing off with it!  It is a beautiful piece.  Now, I'm struggling to name the tune!
