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.
