United States v. Cody Manufacturing Co.

Court of Customs and Patent Appeals

1DissentRich, Judge

It seems clear to me from tbe record that, as tbe Customs Court held, tbe particular thing assembled in this country from tbe imported parts plus other parts of domestic origin, and for which tbe particular articles were imported, is a type or style of music box; that tbe imported figurines, brass tubes and blocking screws are essential parts of this ldnd of music box, without which it is not complete and cannot perform its intended function; and that tbe imported parts involved on this appeal are exclusively for use in and are commercially worthless apart from use in this ldnd of music box.
