Gene Autry's Vintage 14K Yellow Gold and Turquoise Player Piano Cufflinks That Play Music. Handsome, vintage, 14K yellow gold and turquoise cufflinks once owned by Western star Gene Autry.

Push stem in and the music stops. 9 tiny turquoise cabochon convey piano keys and the player piano rolls with each cufflinks measuring ¾ x 1".
