1910, FRANCE: French automaton music box. A street organ grinder in period dress. The organ is the music box and when wound, that box drives the motion in his arm to appear as if he is cranking it. Cloth construction on his head and hands, with glass eyes. CONSIDERATIONS: The street organist's cloths are slightly faded and showing some wear and tattered edges. The music box works, but struggles to turn his arm to appear he is cranking it.
Condition: (Good).
Item Dimensions: 8" x 5 - 1/2" x 14 - 1/2".
