Fig. 30-19. (432). Date and maker uncertain. According to Bellamy probably made in Saint Croix by Paillard for the Chinese market. Tunes 1 and 4 are Chinese names (Sinfa, Ling Lang Long), so probably songs about people of those names. Tunes 2 and 3 are difficult to interpret. It is the only known tune sheet that has the word `cartel´ written in the bottom cartouche. Although in common usage in the watch and musical box trade it was not in common public use. (Bellamy: Tuneheets Makers Agents (2022), p. 30/5, Fig. 30/19)
