Exceptional musical automaton with painted papier mache head, composition hands and dressed in original clothing. He has decaled painted on his face of butterflies and insects, with painted red nose tip and cheeks. When activated by key wind in the base and on/off lever is pulled, music plays and he begins his act. In his right hand there is a brass cone and in the left a wand. he moves his head back and forth, looking down at the cone as it rises to expose items beneath and to the left as he is tapping the cone with the wand in the interim process. Underneath the cone, given enough time, four separate objects appear: first, a die, then a piece of jewelry, then a pocket watch and finally a clump of fruit. Once all items have been exposed, the sequence of objects appear again in that particular order if there is enough action remaining in the mechanism to allow. 25" tall from bottom of base to top of clown's head, with the figure itself being 19" tall. CONDITION: Overall very good, perhaps a little bit of retouch to the face, particularly on the red nose and mouth, but well done. Dimensions: 26" x 8" x 11".
