As there is no label or identification whatsoever, it is not certain it is an Erzgebirge production, but it is at least in the style. Also the music mechanism is old, from the sixties, latest seventies, and swiss, that points to an original production, not an imitation.
On first sight it looks that in front of the house right a tree is missing (green spot). But believe that the tree an inch further has been refixed, but on the wrong spot and should be really on the green spot; the tree in front of the window is illogical.
The girl in front, with cakes?, has a broken shoe because the pin throughtop for fixation broke off, therefore the item qualifies as fair only.
The tune number '1667' is also mentioned on the comb, as well as '20' (comb original 20 teeth?) and under the metal base '2'.
