Vintage Sankyo Music Box?

Some months ago i found this japanese music box in a kinda second hand store here in my town, at first i tought it wasnt that cool, but it was sheap and well i got it. at home i had more time to examine the box, and i was thinking that probably it was like 30 years old aprox. because the parts of the mechanism was all metal parts and the lock was kinda rusty and it was made for an old tipe of key etc. the tune that the box plays is kinda weird, its like 2 songs in one, the swans lake and a nother song on top, kinda weird, but that makes it more interesting for me.

So today i decided to investigate and see what i could find out of the company that made it and if i could find what year this music box really is (not exactly but something near), and i found some pages with information about a company from japan that started after WWII by the name os sankyo, and it said that most of the vintage music boxes from japan were made by this company, so im guessing this music box could be a sankyo...?
