Question
My mother has two clock, and needs a wind up key for both.  One is a Centurion 35 day, the other a Alaron 31 day.  Please let me know which keys we need, or how to contact you to purchase them.  We also need the hanging "arm" piece, sorry for the description for a Dutch zaandam clock

Answer
The 31 day clock should use a #6 key.
Regarding the piece for the zan dam. Is it the pendulum leader you are looking for?
These clocks were made with a variety of different movements in them. If you give me the numbers stamped on the back of the clock movement I might be able to identify it. A photo of the movement back would also be great.
