Clocks, Watches/Cuckoo Clock Key

Question
I have a cuckoo clock made by the Linden Division of Cuckoo Clock Manufacturing Co. in NY and I lost the key. It's a one day clock and I don't know where I can get a new one. I've been trying to find on the internet information about the company with no success at all. Do you have any information about where I can get a key or about the company? The front part of the clock says "Hummel" and it has also "Ars sacra 9636" next to the trade mark icon.
Thank you so much

Answer
Hi Rosie, I researched this and narrowed it down to three sizes. Your clock movement is most likely a Lux or Keebler or what is called a Zappler. It could be a size 1, 2 or 3 key. You can purchase them here: http://www.norkro.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30&products_i...
