It was from a live auctioneer auction. That was the only photo and had little info on it.

Phonographe miniature, d'une série de cinq, créée en Espagne par Manuel Olive Sans et commercialisée par la société Vesta en 1965. Celui-ci reproduit à l'échelle ¼ le Lioretgraph Le Babillard. La manivelle située sur le volant régulateur fait tourner le cylindre.

Compared to some scale models I've seen, that one looks pretty good. For instance:

Thank you! Wow! I wonder if its functional to a degree or if it came with mini cylinders. Probably not but its still fun to think about
