Went to my favourite antique/flea market today and came away with two 19th C cuckoo clocks.
This one is a BEHA twin fusee, bone numerals and hands, cuckoo with wings, 18" high. The crown is missing, but I have one from another clock that looks fine. I also need to construct a pendulum. It is impressed BEHA to the top of the wooden movement frame
Retailer was the famous London firm, Camerer Cuss, as shown on the original door label.
Initial investigations suggest that it is in working order
Cost was an extremely reasonable £180.
Any information very welcome, as I am no expert on these clocks, thanks
I'll post the other separately.
