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.
