I purchased this beautifully carvedGerman Black Forest Hunter Cuckoo Clock in an estate sale about fiveyears ago. It is an 8-day clock that cuckoos on the half hour andhour. It is a large clock measuring 24” in height (from the tip ofthe antlers to the bottom of the clock) and 14” wide (across itswidest point). The clock runs well, keeping accurate time. Itneeds cleaning on the outside but I will leave that to the new ownersince I don\'t know the best way to do that to protect the beautifulcarved wood. I have photographed the interior of the clock so youcan judge for yourself the interior condition. Looks clean inside tome but I am not familiar enough to know what to look for other thanthat; however, the fact that it runs well and keeps accurate timeprobably speaks to its interior condition. There is a marking on themetal inside which I think is Schmeckenbecher. I\'ve attached a photoof the marking but it is quite hard to read; although, someonefamiliar with the markings will probably be able to determine if I\'veread it correctly by looking at the photograph.The back of the clockis marked 12 – 80, West Germany, 8 Day. One of the S hooks thatattaches the weights to the chain has been replaced with a hook madefrom wire. The other S hook is in place. I\'ve examined the clockclosely and it looks very good to me. I\'ve attached close ups so youcan examine it as well. There is a blunt corner just above thepheasant and I\'ve tried to determine if the corner is chipped orblunted that way when it was carved. I\'ve examined the pictures ofother similar clocks and I think it is a design feature but I\'veattached a closeup of the area so you can make your owndetermination. Very niceclock!
