Eight Day Hunter's Cuckoo Clock with Hand-carved Oak Leaves, Animals, Rifles, and Buck

This traditionally styled German cuckoo clock features wooden hands, a wood dial with Roman numerals, and a warm light yellow hand-painted and hand-carved cuckoo bird. The cuckoo clock case is surrounded by many carved oak leaves with a hand-carved deer head with antlers at the top of the clock. There is also a hand-carved rabbit and bird on each side of the clock dial. Two cast iron pine cone weights are suspended beneath the clock case by two separate brass chains.The hand-carved painted oak leaf pendulum continuosly swings back and forth which controls the timing of the clock. If your cuckoo clock's timing should ever need adjustment, you can control the speed of your clock by sliding the oak leaf up or down the pendulum stick. Sliding the oak leaf down causes the cuckoo clock to run slightly slower, while sliding the oak leaf up makes the cuckoo clock run slightly faster.On every hour the cuckoo bird emerges from a swinging door above the clock dial and counts the hour by cuckooing once per hour. (Example: At one o'clock the bird will cuckoo once. At eight o'clock the bird will cuckoo eight times) The half hour is announced with one cuckoo call. The eight day mechanical movement, which is produced in the Black Forest of Germany, is wound once per week by raising the two pine cone weights. One weight powers the time and the other weight powers the cuckoo and cuckoo call.*Great effort has been made to portray each cuckoo clock as accurately as possible. As with many handmade items, the exact coloration and carving may vary slightly from clock to clock. We consider this to be a special part of their character. This clock is covered by a two year limited warranty covering workmanship and manufacturers defects. Please see the River City Clocks Warranty Page for more information about the warranty.
