HI Gay,

You may have better luck with your question if you ask in the Clock Repair forum.

The 5 1/2 has to do with the pendulum length, not the model of the clock movement. Ansonia made a number of different movements. Does it have open springs, or are the springs captured in "spring barrels"? Some pictures would be helpful.
