These are late 1800's-early 1900's metal music player discs under the brand "Polyphon" (Germany). Each of the 8-1/8" diameter discs has the Polyphon logo (in varying degrees of wear), the number of the disc and the song title in 3 languages--German, French and English. Below is a list of the discs that Dad had in a box. The first 5 look to be a little warped (#8, 37, 62, 74 & 78), so I am not sure how well they would play unless they can be flattened out. All of the "nibs" look to be in good condition.
#8. Summer's Last Rose#37. Roses from the South (waltz)#62. Christmas Hymn-Silent Night#64. Secret Love, Gavotte (waltz)#78. Boccaccio ??? Suppe March (serenade)#88. Entry into Paris (march)#89. The Tattoo (prayer)#94. When the Swallos Return#95. How Sweet! (waltz)#110. German Popular song#122. Christmas Hymn (De Tannenbaum)#135. The Trumpeter of Sakkingen (song)#160. Hymn#177. Waltz of the Baron Bohemian#178. Long, Long Ago#203. Tarara-Boom-de-a (march)#220. Daisy Bell (waltz)#253. Neapolitain (song)#258. At Supper (song)#398 (or 348? hard to read the actual number).
