Best Quality Best Selection Best Guarantee. We’re offering a very rare and unusual automaton dating from the late 1800’s. It is attributed to the Paris, France makers Roullet & DeCamps, who were renowned for their complex and detailed automatons. We acquired this from the personal collection of our late restorer, Moe Goldy, who advised that it was indeed made by Roullet & deCamps. The bear itself is about 11″ overall length and 6″ high. It has glass eyes, and small disks on each leg to ease friction and enable movement. The bear’s fur is original, complete and 100% intact, with no apparent losses or shedding. Wind it up with the provided key and it will “walk” for about 45-60 seconds, certainly enough to traverse your dinner table, which is what items like this were used for – to entertain guests after a hearty meal. While the bear does not have a cannon, or a rifle for that matter, it is not a toy, either, it is a high-quality piece that cost a lot of French Francs in it’s day. Musicaltreasuresofmiami.
