[QUOTE="'Nuff_Said, post: 5758, member: 181"]Thanks MYMY, but we're going to re-sell it after the restoration. The little birdy ain't singing, but the timepiece works just fine. The box was made by [I]Raymy[/I] and retailed by Mersmann: [url]http://www.mersmann.ch/[/url] circa first quarter of the 20th century. Once restored, probably worth in the neighborhood of $8 - $15,000 would be my guess from looking at sold comparables.

Here's a $65 lot: 18th/19th century Chinese lobed washer, Republic era porcelain figure and miniature carved nut boat with wood stand.
