Mechanical Music Auction in Cologne 19 Nov 2011
By Uwe Breker

Dear MMD,  The next mechanical music auction in Cologne, Germany, takes
place on 19th November 2011.  Highlights include a beautiful Bacigalupo
26-note barrel organ, a fine Hungarian silver-gilt singing bird cage
and a Regina Hexaphone in select original condition.  Also included
is a particularly good selection of disc musical boxes and an early
part-overture 'fat cylinder' musical box by Lecoultre.

The automata section features a rare coin-operated 'Magic Theatre' by
Renou and a fine early Tightrope Dancer by Theroude in addition to a
single-owner collection of contemporary automata by collectable modern
makers such as Michel Marcu, Claude Laurent and Michel Bertrand.

The catalogue is available online at http://www.breker.com/ and
through http://www.liveauctioneers.com/search?q=Auction+Team+Breker 
You can also watch and listen to many of the instruments live at

forward to welcoming you to the auction in person, by telephone and
over the Internet!

Best wishes,
Uwe Breker - Auction Team Breker
