"Dancing Lesson" Automaton by Rebicek
By Helmut Kowar

There is a similar automaton: two pictures are given in Luuk
Goldhoorn's book, "Die Österreichische spielwarenmanufaktur"
(Utrecht, 1999), page 87.

A somehow similar but simpler automaton turned up in Vienna two or
three years ago, with an Olbrich movement, no. 9608/661 (2 melodies),
in the base (see the picture attached).

Kind regards,
