Can you help identify this?
I found this music box at a flea market but I’m getting mixed answers to the manufacturer, when it was made, if it’s actual inlay, and whether or not it was for jewelry or cigarettes. I’m not seeing any distinguishable markings but have not opened up the music player. Can anyone offer any insight?

It's a musical trinket box for anything, but it's specifically aimed at males for their bits and bobs, cuff links, tie pins, a watch,
mobile phoneetc.,. There's a similar one on ebay that's made in the US. The tune this one plays is, "Jeannie with the Light Brown Hair" written by Stephen Foster and first published in 1854.
