In a dark oak case with a T & S movement. Not tested. 14 1/2" Tall x 10" Wide
German Shelf Cuckoo, ca. 1890.
Highly carved 24 inches tall case in the hunter's motif. Lots of leaves, trees, grapes but also has the traditional animals normally seen on a hanging cuckoo. On the crest is oversized goat's head with old horns. Clean 6 inches dial, good numbers, old hands. Time and strike brass movement is probably 1-day, looks to have been serviced recently with replaced bellows tops. Overall an extra nice, unusual shelf cuckoo.
German shelf cuckoo, ca. 1880.
This 24 inches high cuckoo has very unusual motif including carved arched top. Four large carved feet, lots of leaves, vines, grapes, flowers, etc. The sides are as heavily carved as front, old stress crack right front. 5 inches wood dial, good numbers with replaced quality hands. Extra large movement with wood plates, good bellows and old pendulum. Running but could use a servicing.
Junghans shelf cuckoo, ca. 1890.
22 inches high fancy carved case, seems to be constructed of walnut and possibly linden wood stained walnut. Finish is original. 6 inches wood dial, good large numbers, old bone hands. Top crest with hand carved leaves is replaced. Lots of carvings around large door, extra large old cuckoo bird. Extra nice feature of this clock is the signed 8-day heavy duty Junghans movement. As the bellows cuckoo, the movement strikes a large cathedral gong also marked Junghans. Bellows and tops are complete but movement needs to be serviced, was in storage a long time.
Junghans Mantle Cuckoo Clock, ca. 1900.
Miniature chalet style case, 10 inches high. Mixed woods stained light and dark walnut, large carved bird looking out window on top. 3.75 inches paper dial is an old replacement. Time and strike 1-day nickel plated movement. Cuckoo's on the half hour and on the hours. Signed Junghans movement also strikes brass bell when you set alarm. Two large bellows and tops seem to be original and in good shape. Clean, collectable Black Forest clock. Running but should be serviced.
Junghans Mantle Cuckoo Clock, ca. 1900.
Fancy oak case with finials and carved half columns; 13 inches high with chip on lower corner, 3 inches paper dial with seconds bit has Junghans logo. Minute hand is loose and needs to be re-attached. Large hand painted bird behind convex glass window. 1-day time and strike nickel plated movement not running. Neat little clock but needs a bit of going over here and there.
Shelf cuckoo with some restoration. The case is clean, no evidence of missing parts or broken pieces.
There could have been a roof at one time. The wood bird is on a metal mount, long, sleek, wings, which is an earlier type. The 8-day movement has square plates that are pinned, which in my opinion dates the clock to pre 1900. The all wood case stands 13.25 inches high, is well made, and in very good condition. The bellows have been in place a long time but I would say they are not original, numerals and hands are also replaced. Movement springs in spring barrels, strikes half hours and hours on a coil gong. A change of hands and you will have a nice inexpensive shelf cuckoo.
Mantle cuckoo clock with 8-day movement.
The Junghans family lived on the Nekar River in Horb, Germany. The family name dates back to 1696. Once the largest clock company in the world, this Black Forest clock-making firm produced some of the most interesting and popular clocks ever made. In 1859, Erhard Junghans purchased land in Schramberg, to build an oil- seed mill. However, in 1861, the business was converted to make clock parts and later entire clocks. This particular cuckoo features an eight-day movement with the Junghans name and star logo embossed into the back plate.

German mini shelf cuckoo, C. 1900.
It looks like a Junghans although is unmarked. The one day balance wheel movement has nickel plates, running very well, the cuckoo does his thing, moving and cooing, on the half hour and hours. The bellows are old but no doubt replaced at some time. The dark oak case is really attractive. Note all the little brass ornaments, half columns, fancy turned finials, battlements around the top. Just a very different miniature shelf only 15" high. The case is clean, and original with the possible exception of the top finial. Repair notations back to 1910. Full back door with latch and knob.
