This listing is for a rare antique German automata. This wooden figure of a man was most likely the work of Karl Griesbaum. There is a mechanical movement that can be accessed via a door on the back. When wound, the mans head is supposed to turn and whistling sounds are supposed to be made. We recently tested it. Hes been in storage for a few years. His head still moves, but not as quickly and the man still whistles. It might be time for a routine tune up however. The automata measures approximately 4.25 x 4 x 13.25 inches. Please see photos for details and feel free to message with any questions. The item “Rare Antique German Whistler Man Automata Karl Griesbaum” is in sale since Thursday, August 26, 2021.
