Soirée - A selection of antique automata from the collection of Ron and Mary Ellen Connor for auction May 14th, 2016 at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, NV. Narrated by Florence Theriault
It has always been my dream to own a gorgeous antique automata like these. People today think these were toys for children ,but actually they were toys for very wealthy adults as a status thing to own. If you had automata in your home it meant you were super rich because you were able spend on such luxury. It told others you had big money. Isn't that correct?
