87, Gold mechanical musical watch. The face is painted with a 

 woodland scene with a village in the distance. Beautifully 

 made figures of vari-colored gold perform when the mechanism 

 is set in motion. A maiden and youth dance to the music, a 

 woman grinds an organ, while a seated boy industriously beats 

 upon a kettledrum. French or Swiss manufacture of the early 

 nineteenth century. (Diameter 57, thickness 20 mm.) 



(Plate XXX, fig. 3.) 



Gold open-face watch and white dial with black figures. The 

 back has a scene painted to represent a kitchen. Figures of 

 vari-colored gold and silver are set in motion by the mechanism 

 concealed in the watch. A woman turns a spinning-wheel, a 

 little girl stirs some food in a bowl, while the spit, upon which 

 a fowl is roasting, is turned by a dog in a treadmill. French 

 or Swiss manufacture. Early nineteenth century. (Diameter 

 56, thickness 27 mm.)

 upon a pipe. Made by Racine at Paris about the year 1800.
