Question
QUESTION: Hi I just purchased a Daneker clock that says "The Governor an original by Daneker Fallston, Marylnad" But it is missing all the weights (3 I believe). Could you please tell me what weight weight I will need and where I would be able to purchase them? Thank you so much.

ANSWER: I need to know what movement is in your clock in order to tell you what weights are needed for it. Please look on the back of the clock movement and tell me what markings are stamped on it.  I also have to know if your pendulum is a wood stick type or a brass lyre style

Answer
I'll direct you to the company who you can get the weights from: Black Forest Imports. Their phone number is 1-800-824-0900.
Give them the UW number you gave me and tell them the pendulum is a wood stick. If they won't sell you the parts I can order them for you. They may offer the shells in brushed or polished style, you probably want them to match your pendulum bob. Polished means that the finish is totally smooth, brushed has a pattern of brush marks on them.
Let me know if you need more help.
