You will be bidding for a German flower seller automaton.This is a superb little automaton. Looks to me to be all original.It works very well, as you can see in the video.It has three movements: The head nods as her right hand presents the flowers while her left hand turns the crank handle.She is beautifully dressed in, what appears to be, silk and lace.The music is loud and clear, I can't read the name of the tune, however.This is a lovely piece in good working order, with only a couple of issues. The stop/start movement works, but occasionally slips, allowing the music to continue. Secondly, the crank handle has a tendency to work its way out, just needs a little push back in with your finger. Neither of these faults interfere with the overall working of the automaton.Measurements: 12 and 3/4 inches in height.
