Antique Singing Bird Box Automaton Music Box (watch Video)
Video will open in a new window. One of many authentic antique singing bird boxes offered for sale – please look at my other listings too. Offered for sale is an antique singing bird box crafted in the late 1800s/very early 1900s. This was crafted by OMM/Raymy of Geneva Switzerland and bears their rather peculiar rear mounted governor fan movement. The bird song is slightly different than most so that is a nice bonus. The bird animates and sings perfectly and the case is very nice. This is a rather modestly priced antique singing bird box and is 100% genuine so if you have always wanted a true antique singing bird box at a modest price, this example is perfect. I fully serviced (cleaned, adjusted, lubricated) the mechanical movement so this singing bird box operates perfectly. Buyers should be cautious when purchasing an antique singing bird box – always insist on seeing a photo of the mechanical movement for any singing bird box described as “antique”. This significantly impacts both current value and future value appreciation. The bird animates perfectly as follows: wings flap up/down, beak opens/closes, tail flutters up/down all the while singing to a beautiful oscillating bird song that is synchronized to the bird animation.
