Up for auction is quite a project of a cuckoo clock. I found this clock as a complete shell with a shattered midframe carving and top. Clock case itself is in good shape, solid, only missing a bit of veneer along the bottom, but frame hides this. Cast plate, lyre shaped movement is unmarked, and i did notice that the cogs on the pulley wheels are almost spikes, leading me to believe the clock is very old. Have not seen a antique movement with that style of cog on pulleys. Movement has been cleaned and oiled, and runs nice, although the chains (which i found with this clock) jump pieriodically. Maybe they are not corret for this medieval movement, but the clock runs well. Back gong door is original to the clock, and appears to have been a gift to someone on feb 14th 1914. Cool history. Bellows are new and SS wires have been fabricated to function. Clock gongs and cuckoos very loud and clear, on the half and for the appropriate amount of hours. Flapping wing bird was missing his tail, i drove in a screw to compensate. You would never know unless you pulled off back plate of the clock. Top was broken in two pieces, glued and repaired. Buck head is new, as are the antlers. Antlers fit in a bit loose, new owner may glue permenent. Mid frame carving had multiple fractures and was missing the top of arch.
