Description from the seller

Old BRU automaton
Subject: mechanical-movement doll
Marking
• Brand: BRU
• Mold number: 366
• Marking visible / legible on the head
• Serial numbering in keeping with BRU productions of the era
1890 Articulated body adapted for the function of an automaton
• Original clothing (presence of antique lace, frayed with normal age-related wear) Very good overall condition for an automaton of this era
Normal wear related to the age of antique textiles, frayed
• No modern alterations
The mechanism operates correctly, it raises both arms, turns the head, you hear only a whistling sound when the music plays, which is normal for the period!
