Gilbert 1807 Banjo Clock

[sylvester12]

Bought this clock today Gilbert 1807 Banjo, 8 day time only wind up movement. Not sure of the date on this or the throat tablet. But otherwise a nice clock and good runner.

Nice haul, Sylvester. You may find a date on the movement on this one.

Just measure the arbor across the flats and buy a suitable key. There is no specific key for it. Timesavers sell all sizes of keys, including 'spiders' which have several sizes of key on a circular disk. These are handy if you have several clocks.

I'll check and see which key I use to wind that clock and if it has a size on it.
