Questions About Antique Work Boxes
  • How do humidor boxes work?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Humidor boxes maintain humidity and temperature while storing cigars, cigarettes, cannabis or pipe tobacco. Most will be made from cedar, which can both absorb and release moisture to create an even humidity and keep tobacco products from drying out. Find a wide range of antique and modern humidors on 1stDibs.
  • How does a Regina music box work?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021
    Regina music boxes have musical information carefully stored on a metal disc. A Regina music box works when the holes in the disc engage with the teeth of a gear that leads to the plucking of a musical comb generating a pleasant sound.
  • How does a singing bird box work?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    How a singing bird box works relies on a clockwork mechanism. Twisting the winder provides power to the motor which then moves the bird and turns the gears that produce music. Both the bird's motion and the tune continue until the motor stops spinning. Find a wide variety of music boxes on 1stDibs.
  • How do antique compasses work?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Antique compasses work with the use of magnets. Compasses use a magnetized needle that can rotate to line up with the Earth’s magnetic field, pointing towards the magnetic north. The basic concept of how compasses work has not changed over several centuries and magnetic compasses continue to work well today. Shop a variety of antique compasses on 1stDibs.

Depending on the watch, you may wind it with a specially designed key or a winding crown located on the stem of the timepiece. You'll find a collection of antique fob watches on 1stDibs.
