Vintage Anton Schneider Black Forest Cuckoo Clock Working REGULA 1-Day

Black Forest Cuckoo Clock; Vintage; Working; REGULA 1-Day Movements. For a collector, the cuckoo clock's value is partially dependent on whether the mechanisms work. Clocks that work are worth much more. All of this clock's inner and outer mechanisms are in good working order. He wood does not appear to have any loss of strength and there are no major visual blemishes to report. That being said, please look closely at the pictures provided and let me know if you have any questions. The following information is provided on the clock's interior brass plate. 4 - MRZ 2001 (stamped on the inside of the clock's backdoor). The following information is provided on the exterior of the clock.

MADE IN GERMANY (carved into wood). Edelweiss and Der frohliche Wanderer (on the same stamp). SWISS MUSICAL MOVEMENT (on the same stamp).

AUS OFF / EIN ON (on a separate stamp next to the silencing lever). The following information is provided on all three weights, which are shaped like pinecones. Fun cuckoo fact: The cuckoo clocks that play tunes and melodies tend to be more valuable - especially if the clock plays more than one song. This clock plays two songs. "Der Fröhlich Wanderer" (The Happy Wanderer) at the hour and "Edelweiss" at the half hour. The cuckoo bird calls at every hour and at every half hour. Musical cuckoo clocks, such as this one, have three counterweights. Two weights power the movement of the clock and operate the cuckoo's call.

The third weight operates other sounds, such as songs. This is a 1-day running cuckoo clock, so it needs winding up each day. There is a silencing lever on the left side of the clock, to silence the clock's cuckoo bird and music box at any time of your choosing.

This cuckoo clock uses REGULA 1-day movements by SBS Feintechnik, which operates in the Black Forest village of Schonach, Germany. This information is provided on the clock's interior brass plate. Once again, let me know if you have any questions.

I'm happy to help.
