Message:: [QUOTE="bluumz, post: 10594851, member: 649"]My husband-at-the-time brought home a hunt-themed cuckoo clock (with stag head and crossed guns) when he was visiting Germany and the Black Forest in the early 2000s.My son just took it to a local clock repair for work and they told him it was worth $400-500 but I have a hard time believing we'd find anyone to pay that kind of money. I think that's more likely an insurance value.Value usually depends on what the design is, how intricate the design is, and how well it is carved. What sort of "cuckoo" is behind the door makes a difference, too. It can be something simple like a vaguely bird-shaped chip of wood behind a single door, or something more intricate like little painted people that rotate through two doors, etc. Your clock looks pretty basic, both in design and carving quality, and you don't show the "cuckoo".And age matters, too. The older, the better, usually.A quick eBay search of SOLD listings of clocks comparable to yours seems to indicate a top price of around $225 US, though that does seem to be for clocks older than yours.I know nothing about the desirability concerning the inner workings. That may come in to play as well. [ATTACH=full]531318[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
