Description
Three leaf tips are broken at the very ends. Nice, deep carvings. Old finish on case has been polished. Bellows with old, but sound leather. Gold painted weights are slightly mismatched and may be replacements. The pendulum stick looks like an old repair. The cuckoo's beak wire is too short, so does not work fully. Bird lift wire is modern and need adjustment. Repair signature in pencil inside back door is from 1895. The unsigned movement ticks, strikes, and makes the cuckoo sounds well.
