Hi! My godson has a number of those wind-up mechanical toys that play tinkly tunes. I think they sound pretty and the bell tones are also ripe for interesting manipulations. If they are playing a tune in the public domain, e.g. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, would it be illegal to record that musical box and include the sound effect as part of an FX library?

No, that is legal.
