Mechanical Music Auction in Cologne 16 November
By Uwe Breker

Dear MMDs,  Our next Mechanical Music auction takes place on
16 November, 2013, in Cologne, Germany.  The sale features over
100 lots of mechanical music instruments, from the mighty to
the miniature.

Highlights include a splendid Decap dance organ, a fine miniature
jewel-set Russian piano produced for the Kossak Regiment in c. 1885,
a very good Nicole Freres four-overture musical box and a rare
Fortuna disc-operated orchestrion.  There is also a selection of
antique musical automata by Vichy, Lambert, Renou and Roullet et
Decamps, several direct from the Decamps family collection.

The preview takes place from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday evening and
the auction begins at 10 a.m. (European time) on Saturday morning.  The
online catalogue is available through http://www.liveauctioneers.com/ and

Many of the instruments can also be watched and listened to at
