Item Details

Description

Bébé Choux Musical Automaton by Decamps, c. 1940
With celluloid head and hands, marked on neck "France, 25" and eagle symbol for Petitcollin, open-spring mechanism playing a single air as baby rises from the centre of cloth-covered papier-mâché cabbage, turns in a full circle, throws kisses and then retreats. Height 10 ½ in. (26,5 cm) up, working order, 2 teeth off musical comb, hole at left elbow, with incised steel "RD" key and brass stop/start. A later version of the popular model by Roullet et Decamps, with unusual "spinning" action.

Musik-Puppenautomat "Bébé Choux" von Decamps, um 1940
Baby im Kohlkopf, Kopf und Hände aus Zelluloid, kleines Loch am linken Ellbogen, im Nacken gemarkt mit "France, 25" und Adler-Symbol der Firma Petitcollin, stoffummantelter Kohlkopf aus Papiermaché, Federwerkmotor, Mechanik und Walzenspielwerk für 1 Melodie (2 Zähne defekt), mit "RD"-Schlüssel und Starthebel, Gesamthöhe 26,5 cm. Während die Musik spielt, hebt sich das Baby aus dem Kohlkopf, dreht sich voll im Kreis, wirft Kußhändchen, zieht sich dann wieder in den Kohlkopf zurück. Gut funktionierender Zustand! Eine spätere Version des populären "Kaninchen im Kohlkopf" von Roullet & Decamps, mit ungewöhnlichem Drehmechanismus.
