This unique decorative collectible features intricate carvings and depicts a whimsical scene of a drunk night watchman. The music box is designed to play music when wound up and is likely a rare and sought-after piece for collectors of Black Forest craftsmanship. The attention to detail and craftsmanship of this Karl Griesbaum piece make it a valuable addition to any collection of decorative collectibles. German Whistler Figure by Karl Griesbaum in fantastic original Condition and in works perfectly too. This particular Whistler is called the night watchmen. You can see the carved key in his hand and then he also has a bottle of wine in his pocket. He is also carrying a lantern which turns on while he plays his tune, and then turns off again. He plays tune #37 Show me the way to go home. There are 2D size batteries in the base to power the lightbulb. I’ve always really like this particular Whistler. I think it’s just a really attractive design and carving.
