Dear Mr. Jamison,  Badisches Landesmuseum is not in Karlsruhe, but in
the castle "Schloss Bruchsal",  D-76646 Bruchsal.  I don't know the
museum in Gera.

Interesting to know:

Franz Oehrlein Organs and Automates maker, Mainzstr. 33, D-55129
Mainz(?) is very specialized with mechanisms.

Gottard Arnold makes lately little figures like the original ones on
the front of the black-forest clocks.  He is a very high specialist.
Address: Fachstaettehist. Musikautomaten, D-76669 Bad-Schoenborn.

Best regards from Mirecourt in France.
