Description

This is a German singing bird music box automaton from the mid-20th century. Housed in a brass cage with a red velvet base and ornate floral detailing, this collectible features a vibrant red mechanical bird that sings a melodic tune when wound. A fine example of German craftsmanship, this piece is both decorative and mechanically fascinating—ideal for collectors of vintage music boxes and automatons. Measures 13" H x 7" diameter. Good condition with minor wear consistent with age.
