Description
12" (30 cm.) The wooden organ-shaped box with original ebony finish and gold striping has a sounding board at top with die-cut lyre design, and the lower section features an arched glass window which displays two all-bisque googly dolls with sculpted hair in the Campbell Kid style posed in front of double mirrors. The musical disc attaches to the back wall, and when hand-wound at the side, the dolls dance about, and music plays. Condition: generally excellent, mechanism and music function well, cracks in original mirrored backs. Comments: Amorette Organette, early 20th century. Value Points: delightful musical box which combines festive street organ music and antique dolls; five original discs are included.
