Black Forest deer-head cuckoo, ca. 1900?  This 22-inch tall cuckoo (12 inches deep) holds an unsigned brass 30-hour movement that is running and striking on the half-hours and hours; the cuckoo bird door opens and the bird sings its song.  I don’t see any losses to the wood carvings and the deer has glass eyes.  The hands are not bone and have been painted white.  Nice carved pendulum.  It all looks old to me, but I am not a cuckoo clock expert by any means.  $150-$250.
