    From the link:

    "It was an amazing moment, to watch this tiny rhino whizz along the tabletop in our warehouse for the first time,’ says Helen Culver Smith, head of the Russian Art department at Christie’s in London, of a silver rhinoceros automaton made by Fabergé around 1909."

    Hard to believe this is over 100 years old. I found the text below the video to be very interesting, as well. What a find.

    Thanks for posting.
