Question
Looking for door key. Movement Number 44 and Case number 1642. Recently acquired via auction. Is beautiful and I had it recently serviced so it runs and chimes wonderfully.
Any idea of a manufactured date timeframe?
The manufacturer of the movement for Colonial will have info stamped on the rear brass plate of the movement normally- would help to ID better. Remove the lock by taking the screws off the back of it and bring it to a locksmith for key fitting- too many sizes to buy the right one from a photo.
try a flashlight and a mirror to read the back plate! ken

| Comment | I'll ask the servicing company if they recall the brass plate ID info. I am reluctant to remove the movement myself! Many thanks for the swift and useful responses to my questions.. John Shivel Tulsa, OK | ||
