Singing Bird Automata by Freres Rochat
By Steve Turner

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

Please, can you provide me with some assistance?  I have recently
inherited a Freres Rochat singing bird box (number 141, date of
manufacture 1815, I think).

Do you know where I could get some information about this item?
I have carried out an Internet search but my findings are a bit
limited.  I would be grateful for any help you can give me.

Regards

Steve Turner

 [ In 980724 MMDigest, Philippe Rouille reported an anecdote told
 [ by historienne Sharon Bailly about Rochat: "If you climb up on
 [ a Swiss mountain and call out 'Rochat', the echo will answer,
 [ 'Which one?'"  ;-)  -- Robbie
