How much is my Cuckoo Clock worth?
Sunday, July 25th, 2010Hannah Banana! asked:
I just bought a BEAUTIFUL cuckoo clock at an antique store for 300.00 and I’ve been researching it to see if I was ripped off or if it was a good deal. However, I cannot find one like it anywhere online! It is completely wooden with the top piece having three wooden maple leaves and a large wooden rose in the center of the middle leaf, the bottom piece is the same except there is a small rose on the two side leaves as well. The whole house is shingled and right below the little window where the bird comes out are three figures of children that go round and round when the music plays. The face is roman numeral and the hands are wooden. There are three brass pinecone shaped weights and a pendelum with a rose pattern on the outside rim of it. On the back of the clock is gold sticker that says “Original Masterpiece CCC Triberg” and a certificate that looks as if it was pasted on. On the top of the certificate it says reuge music and in the middle it says minuet lullaby W.A Mozart and on the bottom in tiny print it says made in saint croix Switzerland. There is also a stamp right on the wood of the clock that looks like two crossed keys in a circle with a symbol above and below it that I cannot make out. On the side of the clock is a metal plate that on the left side reads “Wren Bazaar”, a symbol of a building of some sort that says Big Ben under it, and the name of G. Burger and then on the right side it says “Made with love member of the Cuckoo Collectors Club Triberg”

I am hoping that someone sees this who really knows clocks!
