The listing, Vintage Wood Coo-Coo CLOCK Swiss German has ended.
When i was a child(50 yrs ago) my dad worked at Goodwill for awhile teaching and also in the wood shop making furniture. One of the things he collected and fixed at home was coo-coo clocks, big, small, all sizes and styles. I have no room to hang this little fella- so here it goes. ( I have a big one on my wall)
All wood, no plastic. Has a key hole to wind but no key(never was on any he had) It's a skeleton barrel key, perhaps the new owner can find a perfect fit? It is hand carved wood of birds and leaves, true nature and woodland style. I see nothing broken or cracked. It has been in safe storage for MANY years. The face is about 1-1/2 inch diameter with gold trim and numbers. The white ornate hands are secure and movable. Please enlarge all the pictures. Both weights are present as well as the moving chains when it is wound. I've shown pictures from many angles, the pine cone either brass or gold plated weights are traditional design and on old but secure chain. The spring mechanism is shown and intact. I believe it only needs winding, but carefully and with the correct key! Perhaps a clock maker has one? A jeweler? It has a brass ring for hanging and the clock sits about 2 inches from the wall. The overall length and width is 4 inches wide and 5-1/2 inches long. Petite thing!
It's in very good vintage condition and a perfect gift. He only took in German or Swiss made clocks so this is either but any marking is gone or I can't see it! perhaps it's inside. He used to fix the coo-coo bellows and any wood needing replacement got his carving hand (he's 91 now!). Packed carefully for shipment!
Give it a good home, someone!
No GIN- good luck to all!
