A jack-in-the-box is a children's toy that outwardly consists of a box with a crank. When the crank is turned, it plays a melody, often "Pop Goes the Weasel". At the end of the tune there is a "surprise", the lid pops open and a figure, usually a clown or jester, pops out of the box.

Info on this toy is slight. At about 7:40 on this video it shows a rubber belt. In my mind this would probably harden and crumble over age, but the video may give you some clues.

I think in terms of display value opening it up and making it work will probably ruin the piece and not make it any more valuable then if it doesn’t work. You see what I’m saying? Sometimes it’s best to leave the old ones alone and just enjoy the look of them.
