Item Details
Description
The cabinet of this beautiful machine has walnut burl veneer with simple parquetry. When the slightly warped lid is opened, the amazing mechanism is revealed but still under a glass door. It has a 16-1/4" brass cylinder that has Auld Lange Syne encoded, 74 teeth on four combs, a 36 reed organ, eight strikers on a 5" drum, eight strikers on a wood block, six engraved bells with bird finials that are struck by bees. Serial no. 3718 A. Included is a crank for winding the machine and an invoice for some professional work done on the mechanism and specifically leaving the cabinet alone. It has a multitude of scratches, scuffs, and some of the varnish is degraded, and repairs have been done to the stand. An amazing example of Swiss mechanical ingenuity. 35"T x 42-1/4"W x 19-1/4"D.
