Karrer-Hoffmann, Teufenthal, Suisse", Nußbaumgehäuse, furnierter Deckel mit Intarsien, Breite 51 cm, Walzenbreite 28 cm, spielender Zustand, ein Flügel am Geschwindigkeitshebel gelöst, fehlendes Malteserkreuz, Dämpfer überholungsbedürftig. - Literatur: David Snelling, in: "The Music Box Journal", Bd. 19, Nr. 1 (Frühjahr 1999), S. 10-12; Bd. 19, Nr. 2 (Sommer 1999), S. 36-38. - Karrer & Cie wurde 1854 von Rudolph und Hans Karrer in Teufenthal, Schweiz, gegründet. Das Unternehmen wurde 1879 aufgelöst. Im folgenden Jahr meldeten Rudolph und seine Frau Elise ein neues Unternehmen an unter dem Namen "Karrer-Hoffmann, Elise", mit Rudolph als Bevollmächtigtem. Snelling spekuliert: "Es scheint (...) ein gewisser Schwindel vorgelegen zu haben, als Rudolph die Karrer & (Cie) unter dem Vorwand auflöste, Elise sei die Erfinderin des (Aufzieh-)Mechanismus, den sie am 7. August 1880 in England patentieren ließ." - Der patentierte Aufzugsmechanismus erforderte die umgekehrte Montage des hier gezeigten Werks mit dem Kamm auf der Rückseite und dem Zylinder auf der Vorderseite, um dem Ratschenhebel genügend Spielraum zu geben, ohne gegen die Gehäusewand zu stoßen (die rechte Gehäuseteilung wurde entfernt, um den Aufzugsmechanismus auf dem Katalogphoto zu zeigen). - Ein sehr ungewöhnliches Werk, das eine Überholung wert ist.

Karrer-Hoffmann, Teufenthal, Suisse", walnut case and veneered and inlaid lid, wd. 20 in. (51 cm), cylinder 11 in. (28 cm), playing condition, one governor fan detached, missing Geneva stopwork, dampers in need of attention. - Literature: David Snelling, in: "The Music Box Journal", Vol. 19, No. 1 (Spring 1999), pp. 10-12; Vol. 19, No. 2 (Summer 1999), pp. 36-38. - Note: Karrer & Cie was founded by Rudolph and Hans Karrer in Teufenthal, Switzerland, in 1854. The company was dissolved in 1879. The following year, Rudolph and his wife Elise registered a new business under the name "Karrer-Hoffmann, Elise", with Rudolph as power of attorney. Snelling speculates: "There appears (…) to have been some deviousness when Rudolph dissolved Karrer & (Cie) based on the pretense that Elise was the inventor of the (winding) mechanism which she proceeded to patent in England on August 7th 1880." - The patented winding mechanism necessitated the inverted mounting of the movement seen here, with the comb at the back and the cylinder at the front, in order to allow the ratchet-lever sufficient travel without colliding against the case wall. (The right case divider has been removed to show the winding mechanism in the catalog photograph). - A very unusual movement, worthy of an overhaul. Start Price: EUR 180 Condition: (3/3)

The Poll Tax-Automat von Frank Nelson, 1986Geschnitzte und bemalte Figurengruppe aus Holz, Darstellung eines armen Mannes mit leeren Taschen, der einen reichen Mann auf seinen Schultern balanciert, an der Spitze der Pyramide Margaret Thatcher, die barfuß auf dem Bowlerhut des reichen Mannes steht, knopf- oder münzbetätigter Elektromotor, auf Sockel mit simulierter Ziegelsteinverkleidung und aufgedruckten Versen: "Die Taschen des armen Mannes ausleeren, die des reichen Mannes überlaufen lassen, unsere Führerin bei ihrer Kopfsteuer unterstützen? Nein! Stützt ihren Kopf auf eine Stange wie diese!" Höhe der Figuren zusammen 94 cm, Gesamthöhe 195 cm, Riß im Holz an Thatchers Schulter, funktionstüchtig, mit europäischem Stecker. Eine Sicherheitsüberprüfung der elektrischen Funktionen wird dringend empfohlen. Im Lieferumfang enthalten ist eine gerahmte Montage von Nelsons Arbeitsskizzen. - Der arme Mann bewegt seine Arme hin und zurück, um seine leeren Taschen zu zeigen, der reiche Mann öffnet seine Taschen, um seinen überquellenden Reichtum zu offenbaren (Taschenbewegung inaktiv), während Thatcher mit ihrer Faust schlägt, bis sich ihr abgetrennter Kopf mit einem Blick des Entsetzens an einer Stange erhebt. Als die britische konservative Regierung unter Margaret Thatcher 1986 ihr Grünbuch zur Kopfsteuer ankündigte, lebte Nelson in einem Häuschen mit einer Grundsteuer von weniger als 100 Pfund pro Jahr. Das Gesetz hätte für ihn über Nacht eine Steuererhöhung von 650 % bedeutet. Er kommentiert: "Wir haben also Maggie, die sich von den Reichen ernährt, die sich selbst ernähren, indem sie dem armen Mann ihre Guccis in die Ohren stecken". Der hier angebotene Automat war einer von zwei, die im Automatenmuseum in York ausgestellt waren. - Referenzen: Frank Nelson, "Rude Mechanicals, a Moving Experience"/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVLrzu95IaI; The Music Box, MBSGB, Vol. 14, No. 6 (Sommer 1990), S. 159-162.

No! Support her head on a pole like so!", combined ht. of figures 37 in. (94 cm), total ht. 75 in. (195 cm), split in wood on Thatcher’s shoulder, working, with European plug, a safety check of electrical functions strongly recommended. Included is a framed montage of Nelson’s working sketches. - Note: The poor man moves his arms in and out to display his empty pockets, the rich man’s pockets open to reveal his overflowing wealth (pocket movement inactive) while Thatcher beats her fist until, with a look of horror, her severed head rises on a pole. - When the British Conservative government under Margaret Thatcher announced its green paper on poll tax in 1986, Nelson was living in a cottage with rates of less than £ 100 a year. The legislation would create a 650 % tax increase for him overnight. He comments: "So we have Maggie, who supports herself on the rich man, who supports himself by sticking his Guccis into the poor man’s ears". - The automaton offered here was one of two on display at the Museum of Automata in York. - References: The Music Box, MBSGB, Vol. 14, No. 6 (Summer 1990), pp. 159-162; Frank Nelson, "Rude Mechanicals, a Moving Experience", please see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVLrzu95IaI.

Musik-Puppenautomat "Claude der Clown" von Gustave Vichy, um 1890Darstellung eines fröhlich die Ziehharmonika spielenden Clowns auf einem Holzfaß. Der Kopf der Figur ist aus Gips gefertigt und mit farbigen Kreisen verziert, Augen, Nase und rechter Fuß sind beweglich, der Motor mit sechs Nocken und einem Walzenspielwerk befinden sich im Faß. - Die Mechanik bringt Claude dazu, sich zu drehen und mit dem Kopf zu nicken, beide Hände zu bewegen und mit dem Fuß zu klopfen, während seine Augen von links nach rechts huschen und seine Nase sich im Takt der Musik ein- und auswärts bewegt. - Bekleidet mit einer karierten Seidenhose und einem magentafarbenen Satinfrack mit Spitzenbesatz, Höhe 66 cm, guter Zustand, Walzenspielwerk ein früher Ersatz, Bodenplatte des Fasses ersetzt, Kurbel mit Griff aus Bein, mit eichelförmigem Stopp/Start-Knopf von Vichy. - Literatur: Für ähnliche Stücke, siehe: Christian und Sharon Bailly, "Automates Anciens", Ausstellung im Hospice Saint-Charles, 25. Nov. bis 30. Dez. 1995; Andrea Robertson, "Museum of Automata", S. 38. - Mit seinem schiefen Grinsen, den hochgezogenen Augenbrauen und der einzigartigen, beweglichen Nase, die die Falten und Bewegungen der Ziehharmonika nachahmt, hat "Claude" eines der bemerkenswertesten Gesichter der Vichy-Automaten. Der Automat wurde im Vichy-Katalog nicht abgebildet, und die erhaltenen Exemplare sind äußerst selten. Wir kennen nur vier weitere Exemplare: eines im ehemaligen Automatenmuseum in York, England, eines, das 1995 im Hospice Saint-Charles in Paris ausgestellt wurde, und zwei in europäischen Privatsammlungen.Watch and Listen on:Youtube.com/AuctionTeamBreker Start Price: EUR 15000 Zustand: (3/3)Claude the Clown Musical Automaton by Gustave Vichy, c. 1890Depicting a clown jauntily playing the concertina atop a banded wood barrel, with plaster-composition character head decorated with painted colored discs, articulated eyes, nose and right foot, the going-barrel motor with six cams and single-air cylinder movement causing Claude to turn and nod his head, move both hands and tap his foot as his eyes dart from left to right and his nose moves in and out in time to the music, dressed in checked silk breeches and magenta satin tailcoat trimmed with lace, ht. 26 in. (66 cm), good working condition, cylinder movement an old replacement, baseboard of barrel replaced, with bone-handled crank and Vichy acorn-form stop / start. - Literature: For similar pieces, see: Christian and Sharon Bailly, "Automates Anciens", exhibition at the Hospice Saint-Charles, 25. Nov.-30. Dec. 1995; Andrea Robertson, "Museum of Automata", p. 38. - With his lopsided grin, raised eyebrows and unique articulated nose, which mimics the folds and the movements of the concertina, "Claude" has one of the most remarkable faces in the Vichy oeuvre. The automaton was not illustrated in the Vichy catalog and surviving examples are exceedingly rare. We know of only four others: one in the former Museum of Automata in York, England, one exhibited at the Hospice Saint-Charles in Paris in 1995 and two in private European collections.
