Seek Bellows for Eschle Singing Bird Cage
By Kathi Miller

Hello,  I recently acquired an Eschle singing bird cage (1960s?).
The birds move but the bellows has disintegrated.  I believe it was
made of rubber; has anyone a suggestion for replacement of the bellows?
Also, would anyone be willing to provide a drawing or photo of what
the bellows looks like as a functioning unit?

I'm a newcomer to the mechanical music world, starting with cylinder
music boxes for fun and hobby.  I'm also a member of the Music Box
Society International and I'm building a small collection of mechanical
music and automata for my granddaughter.   Thanks in advance for your
replies.
