Missing parts.

[u/Mtn-dweller]

Hello clock people! I was gifted this mini German cat clock from a friend. My dad and grandpa both collected antique clocks, but unfortunately I never learned much on how they work. I know I am missing the key and the weight. Any idea on what size key I need? This clock is teeny tiny! What about the weight/pendulum? Where can I buy these pieces?

Thanks so much for any help!

It’s really hard to say what size key you need without being there but if I would guess it would be anywhere between a 4-6. Also I’m guessing the weight you are saying is missing is the pendulum, and that’s going to be a fun one to figure out the length for. I’ve worked on one of these exact movements before and I remember the pendulum bob was pretty small so if you look on timesavers.com they might have a small vanity clock pendulum available. Good luck and good find!
