Replacement Spring For Paillard 50-note Movement
By Don Caine

Hi Adrian,  I may be able to assist you with a vintage mainspring,
but I'd need to see some photos of the mainspring housing (inside & out),
the winding arbor assembly and the complete mechanism.

I suspect you may have a small snuff box movement.  However, because
Paillard made several different 50-note movement sizes, I can't be sure
which model you are working with.

Thank you, I remain most sincerely at your service.
