Thanks, Sean.
These often played the tune ‘Edelweiss’ and if that’s the case let me know and I’ll update the appraisal. Otherwise you’re all set.
Thank you again for using Mearto and have a great day/weekend!
Hi Delia,
Yes, it does play a tune and the dancers and wheel on the side of the chateau spin. Although I'm not sure what the tune is. I have a video recording if you'd like to hear it? And yes, we have the 3 pine cone shaped weights as well as the wood pendulum. The dimensions are approximately 12" W x 11" H.
