When I was a very young child in the 1940's, my parents would sometimes take me to visit a senior couple my father's family had known for decades. The lady of the house had this very same music box and would play it for me as a treat. It totally fascinated me because it was so life-like. I would beg to see it again and again, until the lady said "OK, this is enough for this time. We don't want to wear out the little bird." I was SO disappointed when it came time to put it back into the glass display case. What a treat to see it again after 70 years !

I'm from Vietnam. Back in the 90s,My grandfather used to have one. It was made of carton board with nice flower cover like a little gift box , open it and the small wooden bird inside starts to chirp, the sound is very natural with mono pause every few seconds. It's such a nostalgic toy... i wish we could have it nowaday.

Testimony of human cruelty The sad part is that the feathers are real and are the real feathers of real humming birds. Thousands of them if not hundreds of thousands were killed to make those boxes. This is one of the saddest human invention. The beak is ivory, the feathers are humming birds, so to make this box, two types of animals were killed.

My Grandmother sold these ..and bought them in London .. Burmensy Market is a area where Antique dealers had these.. But this one is near mint making it absolutely fantastic. That was in 1994..1995.. The Antique Market in CA was on Fire.. Sold alot of Rookwood pottery..

The card seems to be a card identifying the shop only - like for advertising. A certificate or a bill would have been welcomed instead. We can read Recu 10 000 fr. This can be an advance on the real price or for a reparation. No obvious direct relation between the card and the object presented .

That is why this quality level is no longer made. Many things were different 100 years ago and it would be a waste to not appreciate what was crafted back then considering the animals already gave their lives. During this time period, it was also common for ladies hats to be adorned with bird feathers. In short, I would never condone if someone did this today and I also appreciate the beauty of these pieces that were crafted before people considered what they were doing.
