Original Description:
I purchased this beautiful moving eyes cuckoo clock at an estate sale and was sold without a weight or pendulum.
A very good friend of mine who loves working on clocks had some extra pine cone weight to see if the clock still worked.
He took the complete clock works out of the clock and oiled front and back. He told me the only to properly oil a clock is to take the works out. Once oiled he made a new back for the clock so it could be hung on a wall. Next add weight and a makeshi...ft pendulum that he made himself. (not pretty but got the job done) The regular clock pendulums he had on hand were to heavy for this clock. The original pendulum must have been quite light. 
The clock would run with (1) 10.2 ounce weight but would stop after running a while. The moving eyes move back and forth. His consensus was the clock needs a slightly heavier weight to run efficient. 
Clock face says CUCKOO but this clock does not CUCKOO his eyes move back and forth instead. Very Cool Clock!! The wood front is in excellent condition and was hand carved.
With all that said the clock does work and this auction will include the one weight and makeshift pendulum. The clock  is quite beautiful and fun to watch run. My friends guess is a 1 pound weight would be better than the 10.2 oz weight provided.
Including the weight the clock weighs 1 pound 9.7 ounces. The front of the clock measures approx. 10.5" x 6" 
The maker of the clock is Sansin Co LTD Tokyo Japan.
