This clock is approximately 50 plus years old.
It is quite beautiful and is painted in toned down colors.
It has seven leaves on the clock and top piece and three birds.
It says inside Regula
It says made in Germany
It also says made in Switzerland
It has a patent number 812538

Has leaf pendulum
Inside metal box it looks lik DV Potu.G.M.angem
It has three cones
Bird comes out on the half hour and cuckoos
Bird comes out on the hour and cuckoos and then plays the song as the cone comes down.
I can't remember if it's a one day or three-day.
It is 14-1/2" tall with crown on
The pendulum is a painted leaf
It is 8-1/2" wide
It is 6" deep
Cones are heavy 5" inch appear to be metal weighing 1/2 pound or pound each.
It worked until I moved and when I boxed it up it stopped. I had had it cleaned and it was working properly so I feel whatever is wrong is minor. I don't wannt to touch it to affect the authenticity of it and would leave repair to the buyer. Thank you. Debbie Thompson
