HERE IS A REALLY NICE ANTIQUE 15” BLACK FOREST AUTOMATON CARVED WOOD WHISTLER HOBO W/CLOCK MADE BY KARL GRIESBAUM IN GERMANY. THE HOBO COMES WITH BOTH ORIGINAL KEYS. THE ONE WITH THE BIRD GOES TO THE WHISTLER AND THE ONE IN THE PACKET IS FOR THE CLOCK. BOTH ARE IN WORKING CONDITION. THE CLOCK TICKS FINE AND KEEPS TIME. THE HOBO’S HEAD MOVES WHEN YOU WIND HIM UP AND MAKES A NOISE. I WOULDN’T CALL IT A WHISTLE THO. IT IS VERY CLEAN AND WELL KEPT. THIS WAS ON A SHELF FOR OVER 30 YEA...RS JUST SITTING. GOT IT WORKING RIGHT AWAY WITHOUT A PROBLEM. I THINK IT WOULD DO EVEN BETTER IF YOU TINKERED WITH IT A BIT.
