387. A French Mechanical Singing Bird in a Brass Cage

A French mechanical singing bird in a brass cage, approx. 11-1/4"H x 6" in diameter. the fancy cage sits atop a relief decorated base, on top of three button feet. Underneath, it is stamped "Made In France" and has an attached winding key and a screened opening for sound. There is a small lever that projects from under the edge of the base to turn it on and off, with the numerals "132" stamped on the side above. The sound works when wound and the bird chirps merrily.
