Any ideas why this music cabinet would have a glass display area on the top? I believe it was originally for sheet music but thought the glassed in area might have been used for a small phonograph or music box but that is just a guess. Thanks

Why do you believe it's a music cabinet? Don't get me wrong. I don't know that it isn't, but I don't see anything that suggests to me that it is.

Probably a ridiculous suggestion, but this reminds me of an automaton fortune telling cabinet ?
Maybe later added to, to alter it's purpose ?
