Cuckoo Clocks (Shelf, Wall)
A clock which houses a small cuckoo bird figurine that emerges from a small door at the top to announce the hours and half hours with its "cuck-oo" call, usually accompanied by a gong. A German invention of 1730, these became popular in the third quarter of the 19th century. Commonly weight driven and in the form of wall clocks, although some may be found as spring driven shelf clocks. Cuckoo clocks are still made today, some with traditionally carved wooden cases and weight driven movements, but many are reproductions with molded plastic cases and quartz movements.

Drop Dial, Drop Trunk, "Schoolhouse" (Wall)
Dial clocks with a trunk extension that houses a pendulum. The trunk usually has a door with a glass window, allowing the pendulum¹s movement to be easily adjusted and seen. Many subcategories of names are often applied to this style of clock, depending on shape of the dial case and the length of the trunk. Style names include octagon or round drop, short or long drop, etc. American drop trunk clocks are often referred to as "Schoolhouse" clocks because of their widespread use in schools, but they were just as common in post offices, saloons, and other public places.
