AUTOMATA figur called "the SCARECROW". Produced by either the automata/clockwork master Mr Gustav VICHY/Paris or Mr.Müller/Germany and looks like some sort of "SCARE CROW " figur, judging from the figure with birds. (see pics) The producer is difficult to be exakt and recognize since there is no published documentation of this special object and that makes this piece "one-of-a-kind" and Very Rare, according to experts. This item is estimated to be produced appr. 1870-1880´s. The Figure´s head is made out of painted papier-mâché on a metal body and with silk dress and jewels. Stands on a wooden base clothed in green valvet. Inside the base is a clockwork mechanism (out of function, not unusual taking consideration of its age! needs some attention and probably some oil or gease!). The mechanical wind up clockwork, with its original "old key" is placed on the side of the base. and is supposed to make the "Scarecrow" move in different actions to scare birds! The dimensions are: tot.height: 85cm, the clockwork base measures: height 25cm x 35x25cm. World wide Bids are Welcomed and international delivery on buyers expense.
