Condition: nice restored condition, running and cucking. The Frankfield patent was granted in 1866, and Waterbury Clock co was given the order for producing the modified spring movements for working the 2 bellows. These were actually the first American made cuckoos, both cases and movements made in the US. On this case, the top rail of leaves is recent, nicely carved to match the rest of the case. Clean and running. And the bonus is the week duration, as most German shelf cuckoos run only a day or 2. This clock is not signed, but the Waterbury movement is identical to other Frankfields we have sold. Height 21.5 inches
