Nancy - The Automaton
BackA late 19th century stage automaton, designed to be driven by a hand crank from under the stage. She is larger than life. Made of Papier Mache, she moves her eyes, eyelids, head turn and nod, heaving chest, bend at waist, cross legs, both arms and right wrist. Nancy is sewing! I have photos of Nancy's restoration on the website: www.automatomania.com Nancy also has her own Facebook profile under "Nancy Turner".

Beautiful. I'd love to have one in my room. I would always feel as if my mother was there, watching over me, protecting me, loving me with ever patient, placid eyes.

this isnt a robot its a fear generator it just sits there sewing and sewing and looking into space for hours until you crack and the men in white coats come to get you , we have these things at a waxwork musiem there sewing , smoking pipes , reading etc id rather spend a night at a haunted castle then in a room with these heh

You do not make fun of, Well that as much and would enchant to us to have something thus.
If we were in 1991 when we had eleven years of age. This would fascinate to us.
