Dude! I'd be happy to spend the rest of my life listening to and admiring these amazing mechanisms. How wonderful that you get to see them up close. Blessed. Thank you for sharing them.
I mentioned in last video I gave my music box away- it was in my car when I was hit head on and my daughter died in the accident- it was damaged in the accident and I had a terrible time finding someone to repair it. It’s nice to see you are helping to keep these beautiful pieces working.
This is something I've never seen ! Just exquisite!! I'm going to start looking around, would love to find one for my Granddaughter (when shes MUCH older)😁 what a unique, special keepsake. Thank you for sharing!!

@@troyduncan1969 I know it's difficult. Try to think more slowly, and plan out the features you want to highlight. A little forethought goes a long way.

Actually, silver was not always hallmarked - depending upon country or origin and the article size. I do not recall if this piece was hallmarked but again - that is not always true.
@@troyduncan1969 Very unusual for a piece of superb craftsmanship and enameling being anonymous.Most European countries have old,well established hallmarking system,hardly to find an exception. Hallmarking was not intended for us to identify who made silver, but as a proof tax was paid.It is almost unimaginable to manufacture such expensive item with hundreds of precious gems and sell it without paying tax, even if it was privately commissioned. Sometimes hallmarks and makers marks can be in very inconspicuous places, almost hidden. Moreover,does clock mechanism offer any clue who made it ?
@@guilesivann1949 As stated prior, this piece has already sold so I do not have anything to add. I have sold about USD 4 million online so my apologies if I do not recall every aspect of this specific piece. Contrary to you assertion, hallmarks were not always consistent in many European countries especially for small articles. British and Dutch were the best but many others simply used one small hallmark that is easily rubbed off over 100 to 200 years.

jonnda Looked blue to me. Maybe something wrong with your device, or worse yet, your eyes. Retinal detachment? Macular degeneration? Better get to the opthamologist!
@@mjrussell414 Nope, I'm looking at plenty of blue objects on my phone as I type this and in the room around me. The camera settings and lighting angle used for the video must suck. @0:24 there is an enamel line at the bottom of the case that still looks black, while I can clearly see the blued steel hands on the clock. At 0:52 the enamel scroll to the right looks blue at the bottom while it is black at the top, but mostly these things appear to be so dark that they might as well be completely black.

Singing bird boxes curious. How much did it sell for? Did you buy it from someone? How much time and work did you put into this piece? Did it need heavy cleaning and alot of custom fixing?
Between $1,500 to $35,000+ . It all comes down to age , material , rarity, and theme .
In amazes me that no one knows who made this piece. You said there's another. So how do you know they're made by the same man?
I know because of the engineering design of the mechanical movement and the artistic style used on the case.
