This is a wonderful, working example of fine craftsmanship. In very nice condition. I have enjoyed it for several years now and have never had any problems when operating it on special occasions to show friends. There has been no refurbishing or cleaning. It remains exactly as I found it. The ONLY flaw that I can tell you about is the fact that the tail feathers are very old and original. (as with the others). And they are not as full as they once were over a hundred years ago. It has a commonly missing or damaged latch on the bottom that stops the music box that works very well. When operating, the bird’s head, beak and tail feathers move with amazingly realistic tweet sounds that come from the whistles in the bottom. You should see the movement inside! It really is a work of art. Below is some history that I found on the web for you. History of Singing Bird Automaton : Around 1780 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Jacquet- Droz manufacturers of complex clocks invented the mechanical singing bird movement. This movement imitated the motions of birds and reproduced it’s “birdsong” very authentically. It contained leather bellows and piston whistle assemblies. About 60 years later the bird movement was perfected by the Blaise Bontems workshop in Paris, France. Blaise Bontems (1814 – 1893) was a noted Parisian specialist in the manufacture of automaton singing birds and the first of a dynasty of automaton manufacturers, which included his son Charles Jules and his grandson Lucien. Bontems’ birds were famous for the realism of their song. In 1960 Reuge took over Bontems as well as Eschle’s production in Germany. The acquisition insured that the 200 year old tradition would be safeguarded. To this day Reuge continues the manufacture of singing birds, in the traditional manner. Birds are painstakingly feathered by hand and meticulously assembled, piece by piece. Be sure to check out my other vintage items as well before you go.

Here is a very nice Original 1800’s Regina Mahogany 27-1/2 Upright 12-Disc Double Comb Music Box in Very Nice Condition. Comes full with 12-discs and crank handle. Has not been used in 30 years, and it operated quite nicely. Both combs are in beautiful condition and the 12 discs are very nice also. The on/off lever on the side doesn’t quite lift the little motor stop high enough, I had to nudge it up with my finger an extra bit to play. Motor spins beautifully and quiet when the stop lever clears. With a good cleaning and tune-up this should run another 100 years. The 12 discs are. The Eminent Doctor Fizz, Song, Luders 4473. Traumerei and Romance, Schumann 4060. LaMascotte Duet, When I Behold, Audran 4417. Wang Waltz, Morse 4022. Flight of the Butterflies, Dance Characteristics, Knauer 4202. Aida, Egyptian March, Verdi 4361. Mexican Butterfly Dance, Schottische, T. Traviata, Drinking Song, Verdi 4083. The Jolly Coppersmith March, Peters 4208. Bohemian Girl, I Dream’t That I Dwelt in Marble Halls, Balfe 4213. The Robin’s Departure, Gavotte 4117. The Canary and Nightingale’s Warble, Lyric Tonepicture, Holst 4296.
