A real master work.
wow really like the clock, neat stuff
I have found my clocks all over the world... England, Germany, Switzerland, Holland, and even sometimes in the US. Most good stuff never hits the market... You have to know where its at and be ready to move before it goes public. The recent economy has put many clocks that were not for sale as availible for the right price. Takes time to get the connections.
Yes you can find hunters here and there... the real early examples with this level of carving are scarse. This piece is unique due to the massive music box... the largest I have ever seen in a wall cuckoo. The box could use a little work to sound better. I will pull it off the wall some time and take a pic...
Sooth- Yes I am familier with the peddler that sold from the Time Museums Collection. I think it brought about $5K. Sure send me a scan would love to keep it on file. The clock on the left you speak of is a very special piece. It is a 18th C. Black Forest Harp Clock (Hackbrettuhr C. 1780-1800) It plays 6 or 8 tunes (will check it) on 16 strings. It is 100% compleate but needs tuning and some restoration... I will do a video when finished. Should be early 2010. Best
Will you make a video of this clock playing all its 8 songs?
Hey, please show off the clock on the left. It looks really unusual. :) This also reminds me. I have a book "Masterpieces of the Time Museum" (Sotheby's catalogue) and it has a "clock peddler" that looks nearly identical to yours. I can get you a clear photo of that page if you like.
I absolutely love the antique zither player double door cuckoos. Do you know how many notes the music movement has on the comb?
Hey Justin, can you find me one like this of a similar size? I live in the United Kingdom just so you know.
I know where there are 5 of the Beha Cuckoos with bells... just a matter of time until one breaks loose. ;)
NIce clock, the music box needs to be slowed down a bit though... how many notes on that music box? do you know if it is an 18, 36,... I'm sure it's not a 72.... but nice..
if you have a quail cuckoo clock can you post it
