    Hi, I have an E. Schmeckembecher cuckoo clock that I brought back from Germany from my grandmother who died in the
    80's. it has a stamp on it saying "Gula". Patient #'s GM 1731483 17415884. Made in Germany 25. on the inside cover hand written is the number 48. It is a 3 weight system with 275 ET stamped on them. It is a chalet style with a water wheel on the side and one lone pine tree. It has the 2 doors with a man and bird. I had taken it to this place where the guy us supposed to repair cuckoo clocks to help me with the chains . He said it was bad and tried to offer me $50. I said no. Come to find out it wasnt bad. Eventually got it working myself. Can you tell a bit about it? Black Forest? Value? Year it was made? If I could send you a picture I would. Nothing missing. Oh it had a sticker on the outside back saying "Tiroler Holzhaker-Buab'N" with 201 also on the bottom corner of the sticker. I sure appreciate it since I've tried & tried and come up empty handed except nearly getting ripped off. I'd really like to know more about it since it was my geandmothers and unfortunitly she didnt have much and could she had something in her possession that might have been valunik m m l Bae dsincerely Hardo Baker (axel6123@sbcglobal.net) or (BakerHardo@gmail.com)

      Nice looking clock. Glad you didn't get ripped off and that you were able to get it running again. It will eventually need maintenance so you should continue looking for a reputable clock repair shop. Check reviews and ask friends, family and neighbors for referrals. Well established, honest clock shops often only need word of mouth "marketing" to bring business their way. That's not to say that shop who advertise are not honest. You just have to check them out for reputation and reviews when they are available. Good luck and welcome to C.W.!

      I love this style of clocks and have been trying to win one on eBay. Ones without outside damage but needing work inside seem to go for over $125, while one with a few small missing pieces needing inside work went for $68. (Plus shipping of course.)
      I think the resale market is low right now. Nice clock!
