This eight day Black Forest musical cuckoo clock features a blacksmith hammering in front of a cottage. The top of the chimney has a seagull nest holding two chicks and their mother At the top of every hour the man swings his hammer up and down, the waterwheel turns, the dancers revolve, and the clock plays one of two different twenty-eight note melodies, Edelweiss and the Happy Wanderer. Three cast iron pine cone weights are suspended beneath the clock case by three separate brass chains. The hand-made pendulum continuously swings back and forth which controls the timing of the clock. On every hour the cuckoo bird emerges from a swinging door above the clock dial and counts the hour by cuckooing once per hour. (Example: At one o'clock the bird will cuckoo once. At eight o'clock the bird will cuckoo eight times) The half hour is announced with one cuckoo call. There is a sound shut-off device beneath the base of the cuckoo clock. Pushing the lever up disables the cuckoo birds cuckoo, the blacksmith, waterwheel, and the music. Pulling the lever down enables the blacksmith, the waterwheel to move and allows the music and cuckoo. The eight day Regula movement is wound once per eight days by raising the three pine cone weights. One weight powers the time, one weight powers the Swiss music box, and the other weight powers the cuckoo bird and cuckoo call, the band, and waterwheel. *Great effort has been made to portray each cuckoo clock as accurately as possible. As with many handmade items, the exact coloration and carving may vary slightly from clock to clock. We consider this to be a special part of their character.

Shipping methods offered are USPS First Class Mail, USPS Priority Mail, FEDEX SMARTPOST & FEDEX or UPS Ground, 2nd Day & 3rd Day.
- What is the lead time on my order being shipped?
- It is our goal to ship your order as soon as possible. Typically our turnaround is 24-36 hours to ship your order. If you have a request for a rush, please send an email noting your shipping needs and we will do our best to accommodate your shipping time frame, however we provide no guarantees aside from what is noted above.
- Although most orders ship within 24-36 hours, note that business days are Monday - Friday and do not include Saturdays, Sundays or U.S. Federal Holidays.
- When calculating the transit time, the day the order is placed or the day that the package is shipped does not count as a transit day. For example, if an order were to be placed on Tuesday, the order would likely ship on Wednesday or Thursday. The transit time countdown begins on the day following the pickup from our warehouse. Thus, if a box is shipped to an address that requires four days of transit time, and the order were to be shipped on Wednesday, the order would arrive the following Tuesday (transit days: Thursday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday). If you have a specific day you need your order to arrive, please send an email noting your needs so that we can confirm if the package will arrive on time.
- At times for orders with an expedited shipping method selected such as FEDEX 2nd Day or 3rd Day options, we might send a courtesy email if an order is placed on a Thursday or Friday so as to request confirmation if the buyer still wants the order shipped in view of the transit times noted above (in the event the buyer expects delivery to be made on Friday or the weekend). If a response is not received at once, the order will still be shipped so as to accommodate the shipping method selected by the buyer and all normal shipping and returns policies apply.
Incorrect Shipping Information When placing an order, it is the responsibility of the buyer to provide correct bill to and ship to information. We assume no responsibility for information that is incorrectly provided. In the event that incomplete or incorrect address information is provided to us and the package is returned, we will provide a full refund for the cost of the merchandise order with the original shipping costs deducted from the merchandise total. In the event our shipping software flags an address as being invalid, incorrect or requiring more information, the order will be held until a confirmation is received from the buyer at which time the order will be shipped and the turnaround shipping time noted above is nullified.
Free Shipping Free shipping promotions are subject to conditions and does not apply to any addresses outside of the continental USA or international addresses.
SHIPPING UPGRADES Shipping methods are subject to change without prior notification. Reasons might include if a UPS is selected for a PO address which only USPS can deliver to, a shipping upgrade in transit time etc
FEDEX SMARTPOST Note that this is typically the most economical method (Fedex will begin with the package and route it through its internal network and hand the package to the local USPS office for delivery on the "final mile" of the package). However it is not guaranteed and is the slowest shipping method. Standard transit time of the package is 3-7 business days. Shipments originate on the West Coast, so addresses located in the Midwest to East coast can expect transit times of 4-7 business days.
USPS Priority Mail An approximate 2-3 day transit time can be expected. Note that the USPS Mail does not provide a guarantee for their transit time standard options of Priority and First Class USPS Mail. Rather, the USPS transit times are estimates (although they are typically very reliable). If a guaranteed transit time is needed, the FEDEX 2nd Day or UPS 3rd Day option should be selected.

Why should I measure my head?
Simply because your head size changes: losing a couple of pounds, getting a hair cut can change the size of your head.
Our hats fit head measurements from 21 1/8 inches to 23 7/8 inches. With standard head measurements for men's hats being 22 5/8 inches, and the standard head measurement for women's hats being 21 1/2 inches, we try to cover every head, from small to extra-large.
To get an accurate measurement use a non-stretch cloth measuring tape instead of a plastic one.
Go for a comfortably snug fit, not too tight and certainly not too loose. The use of a hat may also determine its best fit: a tighter hat stays on better when its windy outside.
Take your time
Place the measuring tape around the widest part of your head, resting it where you like your hat to sit.
Fit is very subjective
Some people wear their hats low, some at an angle and some quite high. Some prefer their fedoras to be angled.
When you've got the tape positioned, join the leading edge to the tape at any comfortable spot on your forehead and note the number of inches, including fractions of an inch.
Then simply compare the number of inches to the chart below to find your hat measurement.
A word of advice
Remember, if your measurement falls somewhere in the middle of a size range, it's advisable to choose the next largest size. Same with when you're trying to decided between "S/M" or "L/XL".
You will notice that some of our hats are "one size fits most". These hats generally have an elastic sweatband to accommodate a wide range of sizes.
We have a Hat Sizing Table along with the images of the item. Please refer to it before making your purchase. Thank you.
