Original Listing Description

eBay This cuckoo clock was purchased in Triberg (right in the heart of the black forest) in Germany in the fall of 2009. The clock is in mint condition, has been tested, and works perfectly. I could not find scratches or cracks in this clock. I provide a short video showing how it looks and the melody it has. The clock has three weights, the chains, and pendulum with adjustable knob to change the speed. The clock lasts about 8 days before one needs to pull the weights back up. The clock has four moving parts as it hits the hour mark: The cuckoo which pokes out of the top door that open and closes, a hiker (e.g, wanderer) that moves his left arm carrying an umbrella, a rotating Noria (water wheel used for raising water from a river so that it can flow by gravity via aqueduct to villages and cultivated land for irrigation), and a rotating carousel with four couples dancing together as it rotates. Every half hour the cuckoo sounds once and every hour the tune comes in and the cuckoo pokes out the number of hours. No pieces have fallen off, have not been broken, replaced nor glued back together. This clock comes with all the original pieces. We purchased this clock when I was on sabbatical leave in Erlangen with my family back in 2009. We traveled to Triberg (a small town right in the middle of the black forest) and purchased the clock there. The same company shown in the catalogue had it shipped to our home here in the US. The clock came with a pamphlet which will be included. It is not clear to me where exactly the clock was manufactured in Germany, but there is a small label in the back of the clock that suggests that some parts might have been made in Switzerland (which is nearby and borders the black forest). I am happy to provide instructions on how to set the clock up and get it running. The item will be shipped very well protected, and insured, especially because of the resonating wire on the back and because it it contains delicate pieces of wood that were all hand carved. I will pay for shipping but no international shipping please.I am also providing some dimensions to give you an idea of the size and weight of this clock:Height, 22 inches, length 15 inches, and width is .The chains with hooks and rings are approximately 6ft long and the weights are about 45.7 oz each (there are 3 weights, ~ 1.3 kg each).Please see pictures for details and feel free to ask questions.
