I have an Anniversary clock that needs a suspension spring, but it does not have any significant markings except "Made in Germany" under the ceramic dial, and more importantly, has 116/1294 scratched under the brass base.
I have attached two pictures.
I would like to know something about the clock and especially what suspension spring to use.
I had a friend give me a suspension spring (0.033") to try and it is quite a bit fast and cannot be regulated.
I assume that it requires a thicker spring.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I come from Argentina and some days ago I acquired a Kern 400 day clock. The movement seems in very good condition however , the suspension spring is missing. The top block is still there and I managed to find a fork and bottom block at a shop but not the spring.

Is there anyone who can help me identify the clock which does not have any identification numbers - only a symbol of a dail with K and S inside it at the bottom left hand corner of the back plate under the winding pinion. The size of the clock without glass is about 7.5 inches (approx 195mm) and the base diammeter is 5.5 inches/140mm, the length between the top block and the pendulum (4 balls) about 3.5 inches (approx 90mm). Back plate 1.75in (45mm) by 2.5in (62mm).

I wish to know the type of suspension spring required and size(suspect .002/.0023). Also if anyone knows approximate age.

Thanks for your attention.]]> Today I had the pleasure of surfing this message board which I found very interesting. I come from Argentina and some days ago I acquired a Kern 400 day clock.

I'm from Canada

I have a old mechanical anniversary clock, the dial with the brass ring, have 3 inch diameter (77 mm).

Looking at the photos, can you tell me who are the maker and the year of making of this clock ?

As you can see, there is at the base of the back, two elephants engraved.

Thank

Bye

This is just one of a number of clocks I have in my modest collection.

All I can find on it is Kieninger & Obergfell, Made in West-Germany. I cannot find a serial #. Obviously it is Post WWII if it was made in West-Germany. It has leveling feet. It seems the wind up mechanism is stuck, possibly from over turning it. I recall the clock from as early as I can remember. I was born in 1958. If anyone can give me some help I would most appreciate it.

It hasn't been used in some time and it sat for a while without the glass cover. It seems to be in good condition but is a little bit tarnished. The key was missing however I've ordered a new one.

I'd like to clean it up a bit and start it running again but I'd like some suggestions on how to go about it. Should we attempt to clean it ourselves and if so with what type polish? What would be a ball park price at a clock repair place? When we get the key should we just wind it up and give it a go?
I understand it needs to be level and can handle that much, is there any thing else I should know?]]>
