Hoping someone might know what model this is? Says June 1902 inside case, would like to get a winding key for it but need model name/ number. Any help would be appreciated. Also , any advise as to where to find a winding key, (sorry if that is the incorrect term).
Greetings Outwo and welcome to Collectors Weekly, Clocks! You have an Ansonia "Waco" from circa 1901. You can probably get an "Ansonia" Winding/Regulation Key on eBay. Alternatively, if there is a clock repair shop nearby, you could simply take your clock in for a check-up and a properly fitting key. Hope that solves your mystery and again, Welcome.
Some of eBay's prices are crazy high.

Be cautious winding an antique, spring-powered clock. The mainsprings store a lot of power and if the movement isn't in good mechanical/running condition, winding up the springs could be risky.
Good luck
