Here's a Kobe Ningyo (Japanese mechanical toy) that I was hired to restore.
This one may date from about 1910 or so.
There's a great online book with more info on these at: check page 205

yes, sure. Depends on the damage of course, but I would definitely be interested in more repair jobs. This was my first job for an older friend who is a respected antiques collector. He was so pleased with the fix he actual gave this Kobe Ningyo to me! 'Here's hoping it attracts more of these to you' was what he said.
