Question
The key for a Linden 8-day Linden triple/chime mantel clock no. 8066 has been lost. The clock was made by the Linden Division, Cuckoo Clock Mfg. Co., in New York City back in the 1970's. Do you know where I can obtain a replacement key to wind the movement? I'll appreciate your help in locating another key.

Answer
I can't say for sure unless I know what movement is in the clock. I'm guessing that Hermle made it and there are numbers on the back like 1050-020 or something similar to that.
These movements use a #7 key.
If you tell me what is stamped on the back of the movement I can confirm this.
We sell clock winding keys for $2.95 on our website.
