Question
QUESTION: We broke the glass cover to this clock, where can I get a replacement?

ANSWER: I need to know the size and style of the glass. Is it a dome? If so, I need the diameter of the base and the height of the dome.
Is it a convex glass? If so I need the diameter.
Is it flat?
Were there any markings on it?
