Monkey Pastry Chef

“When wound and the start/stop pull actuated, the incredibly detailed and realistically modeled standing monkey chef begins his performance by looking left then right whilst opening and closing eye lids as mouth moves to speak, lowering head slightly to indicate his latest culinary creation…”

This mechanical wonder (ca. 1880) sold for over $36k in 2014, and was presumably purchased by someone to keep their little brats and pets in line.
