Offered as a "Buy It Now" is this beautiful American Cuckoo Clock Company Hunter's Theme cuckoo and quail clock, circa 1912. The clock is in excellent running condition and operates as it should. (See Video). The case and the wood carvings are also in excellent condition. The rabbit, pheasant and deer head are all hand painted with much of the original paint intact. The cast brass 30 hour movement is in excellent condition, has been lubricated and runs smoothly. The quail and cuckoo birds retain most of their original paint, have flapping wings and moving beaks. The clock has its 3 matched weights, leaf pendulum, dial and gorgeous carved bone hands. There is a slight loss on the numeral 11. The top cress has a professional repair which is hard to see. The antlers are a later replacement, probably added in the 1960's, they are made of resin but are appropriate to the deer head. All the pipes/ bellows were replaced and sound great! The pipes/bellows that came with the clock were plastic, probably added in the 1960's, but were in very poor condition. The clock is 26 inches tall, not including the weights and pendulum, 17 inches across the crest and about 13 inches deep. Please look at all the pictures and video for a better view. The pictures are part of the description. Please ask any questions (Before) you purchase! The clock is being sold As Is, With No Guarantees and No Returns. Shipping and Insurance is 85.00 via FedEx. If shipping to your zip code is less I will refund the difference. Shipping to the lower 48 States Only! Please (NO overseas shipping) on this item! I pack extremely well and with care! Check my feedback. The history of the American Cuckoo Clock Company is very interesting. The company was started circa 1877 as Breitinger & Sons Inc. They imported many clocks from Germany, including cuckoo clocks. Many of the cuckoo clocks arrived in this country damaged so they decided to make their own. They hired German wood carvers to make the cases and wood carvings. The company imported the brass movements, and various other parts, including bone hands, bellows, dials, etc. They ended production of most clocks around the start of the Second World War. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
