Antique American Clocks January 2022
77. $300
Black Forest wall cuckoo, ca. 1900. A 20-inch walnut case covered in carved oak leaves with a squirrel eating an acorn on top. No missing pieces to the trim that I can see. Hands and dial numbers look original, with a possible repair to the minute hand. The unsigned brass movement is running, striking, and the cuckoo is calling on the hour; the strike needs adjustment and the bird’s door does not fully open. The bellows look new. Two pinecone weights and a pendulum. $300-$500.
UPDATE: This is a 30-hour clock.
