Not correcting your vernacular; Just helping you find the piece. I BELIEVE from your description that you are looking for a pendulum leader? That's the piece suspended by a ribbon from the post, intersecting the crutch at a slot, and from this the pendulum is hung?

Looks like a REAL ST movement to me. Unless others can advise better ( hope ) I'd be lookin' at making one. A piece of flat brass perhaps 1/16" stock about a quarter inch wide - a split "J" on the top to hang it - a rectangular slot to index the crutchpost, and whatever arrangement the pendulum requires to hang - a "TEE" post probably. A pendulum leader.

Don, I would hate to see you have to work :biggrin:
Try part #12267, Timesavers. This may or may not work, but it will at least give you a piece of brass to start with. It will need forming at the top.

Hey Don-

Scottie's correct that you are looking for a leader. Do you also need the pendulum bob? Here is a photo of what you are looking for...

Don, David's crutch selection looks better than what I found in Timesavers. I would take him up on his offer.
