Antique shelf cuckoo clock Germany circa 1850

This is an unusually large antique shelf cuckoo clock. Germany circa 1850. Deep gong and cuckoo on hour and half hour. Hand carved, articulated, huge, wooden cuckoo bird. Flaps wings when cuckoos. Unusual Gothic church like structure. The wood plate movement runs for two days on a full wind. Very good time keeper. Very original clock with beautiful original bone hands. Height 24 inches width 12.5 inches, depth 7.25 inches, dial diameter 5.5 inches The clock has some minor flaws. Right rear foot has a small sliver of wood missing approx 1 in by 1/8 inch, not really noticeable because it is on the rear of the clock. There is a small chip in the rim of the strike side ivory winding hole. Cuckoo door has two small nicks. Beautifully carved case. Overall in very good condition.

Thank you for your quick reply. I am really shocked at the price. I knew many people here wanted it, but probably figured I didn't know what I had and they wanted to buy it for nothing. I am glad I held on to it.
Thanks again!
