Question
i received a royal mariner clock it came with 2 keys i large 1small small one fits how should i wind it so it keeps time properly

Answer
The key that does not fit is not used on that clock. You only need one key. You should be able to wind it all the way up until the key will not turn anymore. There will be a timing adjuster on the face of the clock. There should be a + and - or a f and s on the face.
They changed these clock a few times. The timing adjuster will either be a lever that you push or a screw that you turn to adjust the time keeping:
+ or f is to make the clock run faster.
- or s is to slow it down.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
