Antique American Clocks                      January 2022

Anton Schneider Söhne “Regal Hunter cuckoo clock”, contemporary.  This clock currently retails for $5247 and you can read the description here.  It is 44 inches tall and is all wood – from the antlers to the clock hands and numerals.  The movement is 8-days with a cuckoo counting the hours and music that plays while the dancers at the top dance and go round.  It plays two songs, The Happy Wanderer and Edelweiss.  There is a lever on the side that allows you to silence it.  A video on the link above lets you see and hear it play.  I believe this one is at least 10-20 years or older; my consignor thinks its from 1945.  I see no damage or missing parts; it is running and playing as expected.  I found one sales record on LiveAuctioneers from 2014 for $550.  $500-$5000.
