It locks the cuckoo between strikes or theīird would go all the way back in between strikes.Īny way, I had to look a couple times and only see slightĭifferences in the angle of the birds. The slot was just a tiny amount to smallĪnd I gave it a single stroke with my file. It was a real pain to adjust the cuckoo so the door didn'tīounce on each strike. I don't recall what the movement was in mine but recall It was around then sometime when they stopped using My clock was most likely made in the 1950's by the glass eyes. Carved 8-day cuckoo clock with three birds and five leaves 35cm by Hubert Herr Discontinued £507.99. Carved 1-day cuckoo clock made of walnut-stained linden wood 30.5cm by Hubert Herr Discontinued £376.99. It was all that old, I'm thinking it was post WWII. Carved 1-day cuckoo clock hand-carved bird and five maple leaves 24cm by Hubert Herr Discontinued £318.99. They stated that the jewel count was needed. I forget but it seems like I read in one of the post where The only difference I see is this is a one day movement. The shape of the birds and leaves are identical. That could have been made at the same place as this one. Wow, I have an 8 day movement hanging from the wall right now Any information you can provide to the date or other background would be most appreciated. She's 2 now, and she loves the cuckoo clock! If I can get a date for the clock, it will help me to verify who originally owned the clock and how long it's been in our family. I collect heirlooms from both sides and keep pictures of them, their stories, and their details in a scrapbook that I'll pass on to my daughter. I consider myself to be something like our family's curator. Currently, it adds five minutes every seven days or so. That seems quite old to me so I'm not assuming it's a date, but does anyone know what it could be? It is all fully functional although, I am still working to get the pendulum position right. I'm wondering if this was to keep the back of this clock from getting mixed up with the back from another? There's also an '1866' written in pencil in the upper right hand corner of the inside of the back panel. There is a '36' written in pencil on both the inside of the back panel and the bottom inside edge of the clock. The weights read '420 ET' (I'm not sure that matters). The Roman numeral 4 on the clock is four lines, not an IV. It is stamped with 'Made in Germany' on both the front clock face and the back panel. It reads 'Hubert Herr Triberg Germany Unadjusted No Jewels'. I can tell you there is a Hubert Herr makers marks on the mechanism. I'm looking for a year or a range of years our clock may have been made? I have been trying to find information online but have only found a handful of clocks that look like ours and none of them have a date. The dark walnut colored cuckoo clock features a red and blue Nutcracker King beside the wooden dial and four dancing soldier Nutcrackers benath the cuckoo. Hubert Herr gives life to a wounderful combination of the Nutcracker and Cuckoo Clock philosophy. She explained to us that it belonged to her mother, who supposedly got it from her mother, who came to the U.S. This is truly the clock many cuckoo clock fans have waited for. Others will be able to provide a more detailed explanation.My husband and I received this cuckoo clock from his aunt recently. Under the same scenario as above, if the clock has a RS movement, the clock will strike 7 times when the time shows 7:00. At this point you will need to re-synchronize the time and the strike. For example, if the strike side winds down at 3:55 and the time side winds down at 6:57, when you wind both the strike side and the time side, when the time shows 7:00, it will strike 4 times as if it is 4:00. If the spring for the strike side is not as long as for the time side, and the strike side winds down before the time side, you will get a mis-match when the clock is fully wound. If you consider a spring driven clock with a strike feature, both springs (the one for the time and the one for the strike) should be of equal length. The RS is attached to the time arbor, the CW is not. A striking clock will have one or the other and a time only clock will have neither. I can not provide you with a technical definition of a count wheel movement, but I can provide you with the practical differences between a count wheel movement and a rack and snail movement.īoth the count wheel ('CW') and the rack and snail ('RS') pertain to the striking train.
