Black Forest large hunter’s cuckoo, ca. 2012? This is a modern cuckoo, made in Germany with a Regula movement. It is 38 inches tall from the top of an antler to the bottom
of the case. There are a couple of chips to the carvings and some missing pieces from the antlers, and a repair to an antler
branch. The numeral ‘III’ is missing from the dial. The hands are wood; note the plastic eyes on the animals. The
movement is signed Regula and is running, and the cuckoo bird is popping out and calling on the hour and half-hour. It is an
8-day movement, driven by two pinecone weights. These large, modern cuckoos sell for upwards of $7500 today. $500–$1500.
