Hello all, I would ask you to help me in finding out who was the maker of a fine musical automaton which I can describe as follows: It is a "Flower Girl" framed like a picture, the frame is about 70 by 45 cm [27.5 x 18 inches]. On the front glass are printed golden letters (not very easy to read) that show: TIFFANY
On the backside of the automaton the original label says: Made exclusively for Tiffany Studios
The Great Parisian Exhibition 1875
Gold Medal of Merit
Everything is in original condition, but in this very moment the movement does not work. Before I open the frame to inspect and to repair the movement, I would like to get as much information as possible about this automaton. Most important is: Who made this automaton? How many of it were made, how many do still exist? Greetings from Germany
