This is a music box, 13" tall (including the ring at the top) with two birds. Neither the chirping nor the movement works. The bellows need to be repaired or replaced. When I bought it, the movement still worked, but not the sound. Both of my cages stopped working after a cross-country move. The brass has a nice patina, I wouldn't dream of polishing it. The label for the on-off switch is also marked West Germany.This item comes from a smoke-free home. POSTAGE FEES: Check out my other auctions -- I will combine shipping at reduced rates. Buyer pays a fixed postage charge; the rate might be higher outside the lower 48 states. Insurance is optional, but recommended, as I can't be responsible for items lost or damaged by the US Postal Service. If your Paypal address is unconfirmed, I may require insurance at actual USPS rates. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: International buyers should be aware that payment policies and shipping rates will differ, and are encouraged to contact me before bidding if they would like more specific information. International buyers agree to accept an ordinary postal receipt (without tracking) as proof of mailing, and agree not to hold me responsible for loss or damage in the mail. (As another alternative, you may be able to pay for tracking or insurance, for example $8 for registered mail). THANKS FOR LOOKING, AND read more
