Description
Mid-century wind-up musical automaton of a dancing ballerina on a rotating metal turntable beneath a clear glass dome. The molded and hand-painted composition figure wears a fabric tutu applied with small flowers over a gilt waistband, raised on a stepped metallic-blue base on three brass ball feet. The underside bears a paper label reading "The Treasure Mill" and embossed "U.S. PATENT" text.
