Cuckoo Clock........again

I think those are rare.  I remember them being made in Germany back in the 1950's.  Folks who owned one were so proud of them.  My wife would go crazy with the koo-koo bird.  But, I would love one if I could silence it at night.  Thanks for showing.  It brings back many memories.

Hey @Ron Altier - this is not an exact match, but maybe came from the same maker (judging by the bird on top).

There is no description to suggest it works - or not.  I plan to go up next week and look at a couple other items in the sale.  If you have any interest in this, for parts or to redo, let me know and I will be glad to check it out for you.  If you do have an interest I could do the bidding and shipping also, providing it doesn't go for a minor fortune!  This sale just got posted up, so no telling where the bidding will end up.

Cal that is funny cause I saw another one on Facebook last night. Had to look back at Ron's picture and sure enough spitting image, even the bird

My grandparents purchased one, which looks like that one, during their visit to Germany in 1964.   Danl
