Nº 732: Horloge parlante HILLER TALKING CLOCK PHONOGRAPH. Rare création allemande alliant les qualités de l'horlogerie et du phonographe.

Beau mécanisme en fer et acier, caisse en chêne et bronze, très bel état, malheureusement cet exemplaire ne possède pas de bande de lecture.  Hauteur 43 - 24x26cm
