1960-70’s Knautschi style (Germany) red leather horse music box. Wind-up and the animatronic horse plays “Happy Birthday,” while also moving to the beat. The music box and animatronic function still works well, however the animal is no longer “plump” with sand, and therefore will eventually fall over. It’s quite comical and kitsch.
