Question
Hi Michael, I just bought a really nice New Haven mantle clock at an estate sale. The clock is in good condition, no idea how old it is -- there's a sticker under the clock and I think it says "Tambourine." Here's my question: the clock is missing its winding key. Do you sell them?

Thanks!!!

Answer
I don't know anything about the Tamourine clock model but I'm familiar with New Haven clock movements.
We have clock keys in just about every size but I don't know what one your clock needs. Most New Haven clocks use a 3.75mm key for winding. This is a size 6.
There may be a small key shaft at the top of the clock face for adjusting the fast/slow of the time keeping. My best guess for this is a 1.95mm .
We have double end keys that are 6x1.95
Or you could use two single end keys.
Our web page of clock keys is here:
