ANSWER: I'm sorry, I don't know what movement is inside that clock so can't tell you what size key to use. Do you know if it has an American movement or a German one?

QUESTION: Dear Michael, thanks for the quick response. I carefully opened the clock and it reads, Made in (Germany For Seth Thomas Clocks) Seven(7) jewles A207-000     6603

Answer
A #3 key should fit that clock. We sell them for $2.95 each.
Regarding the value of the clock, There are a lot of variables but ships clocks have a good value. If the clock is in very good condition I would say it's worth about $300.00.
