A late 19th century automaton of a doll. 15" tall in her original dress. Bisque head and shoulders are German, with the musical movement marked Paris. Key-wind operation, she walks in an oval pattern, depending on the direction of the front wheel, and bellows "Pa-Pa, Pa-Pa", while moving her arms back and forth. A very delicate automaton in very good condition and originality. Currently working but worthy of a restoration of the movements. Very rare and desirable by automaton collectors.
Condition: (Very Good).
Item Dimensions: Case: 8 - 1/4" x 8 - 1/4" x 16 - 3/4".
