Antique American Clocks January 2021
183. $1000
Black Forest musical cuckoo, ca. 1900. A large (30-inch tall) intricately carved cuckoo that
plays on the on the hours and half-hours. There is a cuckoo in the right door and a seated man in the left door, with the bird
calling followed by the man playing a folk song. Note the carved bird on the top, the two birds on the sides, and the two birds
in the nest at the bottom. The numbers on the dial and the hands are bone/ivory; I think both hands have been repaired. The 1-day movement is brass and unsigned. It is running and playing without problem. $1000-$1500.
