This is an 8 day cuckoo from the 50's maybe... We bought this at an auction in our little town. They were auctioning off the estate of the folks who for many years ran the only store in town. The old "general" store is long since gone... Along with a canning plant and a few other small concerns... My wife has fond memories of Mr. Nock's Store from when she was small though. She bought pop and penny candy there. She doesn't remember the clock being in the store at that time so it may have been something from their house.

I have one just like it. got it at a flea market about 15 years ago. wish all my cuckoo clocks were eight day.

Thanks tt!!!
When I was stationed in Germany in 1961 I bought a cuckoo clock like yours for my folks for Christmas. They had that clock for forty years before they had to have the bellows replaced. Best 25 dollars or 100 marks I have spent on a gift.
LOL... Nice story ttom! I love the old clock. It's kind of loud and obnoxious but hey, so are a lot of the people I love! Happy New Year!!!
