Clocks, Watches/Anvil clocks

Question
I 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
regards
giovanni

Answer
I 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.  Regards WJP
