Possibly the 140 in the lower right hand corner of the movement may be the pendulum length. That’s a long pendulum if it is 140 cm. How tall is the case? Do you have the leader?

Looks like a very narrow case. The pendulum Bob would have to be small if it hung in the narrow part. Measure 140 cm. from the top of the glass and see where the bottom of the pendulum would be. Do you have the leader?

A clinder shaped pendulum would be good. About 1 1/2" diameter and about 3/4#.

The stick, or rod's, length can easily be determined by experiment.
