Up for sale is a vintage, hand-carved 1971E. Schmeckenbecher "Hunter Style" cuckoo clock from West Germany, being sold strictly As-Is for parts or repair. This is a unique electromechanical hybrid model that features a genuine mechanical brass gear train inside but operates on a single "D" battery with short chains and faux pinecone weights.Condition Details:

• Mechanism: The clock is currently not working. There appears to be evidence of past battery leakage in the compartment, so the contacts likely need cleaning or replacement to get it running again.
• Cosmetics: The wood carvings are in good structural shape with no cracks. The left-side bird and right-side rabbit/game are completely intact. However, the top stag/deer head is missing its antlers, and the clock shows general vintage wear throughout.
• Included: Comes with the main clock housing, the top hunting-topper piece, the wooden leaf pendulum, two faux pinecone weights, and the original backplate with the bilingual instruction label intact.
Please review all photos carefully. Perfect project piece for a clock hobbyist or a great source of original vintage German parts!
"In 1971, E. Schmeckenbecher and other German manufacturers marketed this hybrid design as a high-tech solution to modernize traditional cuckoo clocks for the booming American export market.Around this time, German clockmakers faced a major dilemma: international customers loved the look of authentic, hand-carved Black Forest wood, but they hated the daily maintenance of standard weight-driven clocks."
