Clocks, Watches/Anvil clocks
Expert: William J Perkins - 12/23/2011
QuestionI recently restored a much neglected Anvil Mantle Clock. It is marked British Anvil Perivale London 51525.
It has a westminster chime that sounds on the quarter hour and is now in reasonable working order. The clock did not have the original pendulum when I found it and although I have jerry rigged a temporary pendulum, I would appreciate your help in trying to either locate a facsimile or at least the correct dimensions and weight. I asked the same question in early November but did not receive an answer. Your help is greatly appreciated

AnswerI would suggest you begin your search be reviewing what is available through on-line cataloges of the various clock materials houses. To site a few to get you started try the following: TmeSavers, Merritt's Antiques, Ronell Clocks, Empire Clocks and Black Forest Clocks. Another source could be ebay. Best of luck in your search.
