We are missing one of the hands on our clock and wonder if there is someone with a parts clock who can help me with the problem.

Thanks for looking at my post...

Have you looked at any of the clock places for replacement hands. No idea of the size needed but several have repro hands that are shaped a lot like that one.

Have not started posting on clock forums....thought this would be the best place to start.

Hadn't thought of clock forums but also a good place. Was thinking of clock DIY places like Klockit or Norkro or Clockworks that have reproduction hands in various lengths. There is a spade hand that is vey similar in looks. If a set is available in the length you need, a bit of fine tuning with a small jewelers file and some paint and I'd bet the shape of the hand could be made identical. If not, maybe changing the pair and I expect very few would pick up on the subtle difference.

I have several spare hands from the non-working clocks I purchased to repair the Jaeger piece in my 526. Put a caliper on your shaft and let me know the size. The spare I have is free to a good home if it'll fit!

Many thanks for all the responses.

Will try to get the shaft dimension tomorrow.
