Is there any on-line references with pictures that would show a Gustav

The chime chain and weight were removed from my tall clock and I need to
find out hot to reconnect
Thanks
The Gustav Becker name was acquired by one german clockmaking
conglomerate and evenentually passed into the hands of the german
clockmaking giant Junghans. After Gustav left the picture around the
turn of the century many many clocks were made bearing the name or the
initials. The styling should give some idea of the time of
manufacture +- a decade. For anything closer you would need to find a
replica company catalog.
The chain should simply loop over a dogged or toothed wheel. Weight
on one end and the chain pull on the other.
