In the German Black Forest in the 1950's and imported to the USA by The Cuckoo Clock Manufacturing Co. It has the original quality 8 Day Westminster Chime movement that runs and chimes properly when wound.
The Westminster chimes sound very nice on this clock. In case you are not familiar with Westminster chimes, these are the ones that play a tune every 15 minutes; 4 notes on the quarter; 8 notes on the ½ hour; 12 notes at the ¾ hour; and then the full 16 note tune on the hour, followed by the hour toll, i. 1 toll at 1:00, 2 tolls at 2:00, etc. The case is in nice shape for 60 + years old.
It is the original finish, so does show some minor forms of wear and age. It measures 8 ½" wide x 10" tall at the bracket, and comes complete with a key and the original pendulum. This helps ensure that the new owner will have a satisfying experience. Be very sure to save all packaging material if there is a problem. All sales are final (with the exception noted below). It is nearly impossible to find one in "mint" condition. If a clock has damage from misuse, it will be noted. If a clock is running properly when it arrives, that is about the best we can do. All sales for this type of item are final.
