[QUOTE="rhiwfield, post: 319303, member: 924"]Just a follow up. It sounds like you have a wall clock. You should be able to find similar Seth Thomas clocks online. Look how many key wind holes there are, ideally more than one as that will mean it strikes. There will probably be a pendulum rod and bob. If it hasnt got a key you can buy a spider multi size key cheaply. If trying to fix then you need to think case and movement. The case is the easy bit, if the glass is intact it is a job for a competent cabinet restorer or even competent diy..er The movement is another matter, it may be that with winding it will work. But it almost certainly needs a service and clean and that is a job for clock repairer, which will not come cheap.[/QUOTE]
