Where would I look to find the key to wind up the antique clock I’ve just bought at auction?
The clock has 3 holes in the face for winding but I can’t find the key – on another old clock I have it tucks away in the case but I can’t find anything on this clock. It also has a string underneath the case that when pulled makes the clock chime. It has 8 bells Westminster written on the top dial. How much would it cost to buy a replacement key if it is missing?
If you do a web search for “antique clock parts” you will find many sites that might have what you are looking for.
The string you mention is called a repeater and is designed to have the clock repeat the time. A nice feature back when you didn’t have electric lights and you wanted the time without lighting a candle.
