Help with cuckoo identification

I have what is very obviously an old 1-day cuckoo clock that's been in the family for as long as I can remember, but I've been unable to find any information that would help me more precisely determine its age. It was in my great grandfather's house, who died in his eighties in the early '80s. The movement doesn't seem to be stamped with anything, and the only marker the clock has is a metal plate with "Ludw. Leins - Plúderhausen i/R." written. The number 5 is also written on the inside, but that could be from anything. Googling Ludwig Leins returned next to nothing useful, and I even restricted the search to mb.nawcc.org, yet found nothing. I know it's probably a long shot, but would the aforementioned name and/or the attached movement picture ring a bell for anyone? Thank you.

And, yes, I know the bellows look like a bit of a dumpster fire. It's a nostalgia thing, which I'm a sucker for :).

Ludwig Leins is still a business in Plüderhausen (Hauptstrasse 79), selling clocks, watches and jewelery.

Likely the company was the retailer of your clock.
