Cuckoo Clock Experts-?
I've found a large one day Barnhausle Railroad Cuckoo clock from the late 1800's that has a paper dial and metal maltese hands- anyone ever seen one like this?
@ Jim: This is a weight driven clock, as all were from that era. I did get it to cuckoo (weakly, the bellow tops need replacing) and the movement is pretty dirty (I have the equipment to clean) and feel it would run fine if it were cleaned and oiled. It is about 20" x 18" I have run across them online for as little as $200- $1500, but not as described (dial & hands). Just wondered if anyone else had ever seen one like that- even my uncle , who is also a NAWCC member thought it was unusual and should not re- dial it.

I am not a real expert but would say you have a good find. You did not say if it had it's keys or if it works. I deal in similar clocks and my advise is to do nothing to the clock but check the internet for someone who repairs Barnhausle and have them give you an offer.
