Johann Baptiste Beha, Germany, Black Forest small shelf cuckoo. 8 day wood plate spring-driven movement with double fusees in an elaborately carved case with foliate, vine and fence decoratoins. The wooden dial has Roman numerals and bone hands. This model "No. 509" is illustrated in Justin Miller's book, Appendix A which is the Beha catalogue reprinted. the case retains its original finish and t he upper removable trim is a replacement. The dial numerals are a replacement and part of the five has flaked off, but is present in a bag. The bone hands appear period. Both bellows will need to be replaced and the movement is very sluggish and needs to be cleaned.
