Please enjoy the video at the top of this page. Offered is this genuine (Ken. D)  Karl Griesbaum Automaton Singing Bird Box in fine vintage condition. Crisp, clear chirps will fill any space. The motion of the bird's wings and beak move with each chirp. The box is unique in that it is footed and has a sliding drawer to hold the key.  
...etica neue", Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif;">The ornate footed box is decorated on four sides as well as the top and the hinged lid. Overall condition is vintage, with some tarnish on the brass finish as well as accumulated dust embedded deep in the decorated panels. The bird's feathers retain good color and could be missing feathers. The bellows is tight and produces loud and clear chirps. Strong main spring. 
Dimensions: 4 3/8" Length x 2 7/8" Height x 2 7/8" Deep ( 11.112 cm x 7.302 cm x 7.302 cm ). Weight 2.036 lbs ( 921 g )
Mechanically working very well though service could help the hinged door to stand more upright while in use (there is some play in the hinge) and, at times, the bird leans slightly inward. The slight inward lean is likely a loose link.
