Description

From the seller
Style & Materials: Mid-century novelty automaton featuring a mechanical faux-feathered bird inside a brass-tone wire cage, set upon a square, clear lucite/acrylic tiered base with decorative corner posts. Mechanism: Wind-up musical clockwork movement (typically manufactured by Japanese firms like Sankyo or Takiwa) Operation: When wound, the box plays a vintage mid-century melody while the bird simultaneously spins and moves mechanically on its perch.Era: Produced roughly between the late 1960s and 1970s in Japan or Hong Kong.
