Question
I have a grandmothers clock from Colonial Mfg. Co. From Zeeland MI/ Serial #704888 I wondered if and where I can get a pendulum. It runs fast and notice no pendulum and wondered if it had one or needs one and where I can buy one, Thank you for your time. JIM

Answer
Colonial only made the clock case, they did not make the clock movement. The pendulum has to match the movement. You will need to get the markings off the back of the clock movement and may also need to see what type of pendulum hanger is on the clock.
If you tell me what those numbers are I can advise you on a replacement pendulum.
