This is a great example of a late 19th century singing bird box automata, most likely from Germany. Marked for German silver 925 and hallmarked. Clockwork operation, flip the switch and the bird appears, chirping and flapping its wings, entertains for about 15 seconds and disappears back into the box. Works perfectly and comes with bird winding key.

Condition: (Excellent).

Item Dimensions: 2" x 4 - 1/2" x 3".
