 Schatz 8-day cuckoo clock, 1950-1985.  The Schatz Clock Co. is best known for its 400-day clocks.  Cuckoos like this one were manufactured beginning in 1950.  This is the maple leaf model, a 13-inch linden wood case with a cuckoo that calls on the hours and half-hours.  It is not running and likely just needs adjustment, but the cuckoo does call and strike a wire gong on cue.  Note how the back plate of the movement depicts a bird.  These sell on eBay for $50-$200.
