£150-200

Condition:
Movement not easy to see/access other than the two fusees and a recoiling anchor escapement. Right winding arbour now exposed and found to be fully-wound. When minute hand is run-on, past the hour, cuckoo and strike mechanism is not activated. When pushed from behind, cuckoo does not reach outside the case. Bellows do emit a sound when manually operated but not during normal operation, so attention needed. Clock has been wound and appears to kept good time over some 48 hours, although not guaranteed. Case good; no woodworm; oak bracket is a good fit.
