How do you wind a Seth Thomas Banjo wall clock?
I just received this clock as a gift and don't know how to wind it. I have the key but don't see where it is used. Any input would be great. Thanks!
I love old clocks, and I just did some research about those banjo clocks, and I'll be damned if I can see where to wind them!
They seem to either have obvious key ports on the face for both time and alarm, or not. Some are electric (eeew!) but some show a winding mechanism, but don't tell you where it is! My grandma had an old banjo clock, but someone got to it, and it's now disappeared from the family (uncle's second wife, I guess).
