Generally the two keys will wind the same direction. We thought it was broken
because only one wound. Came to find out, one turns clockwise and one counter
clockwise

Ahhh... Now I understand. One key hole is for winding the pendulum, time, and
the other the striking. That's what I get for overthinking this. I do the
same with my clock, only wind the time, which is the winder on the right.

Sorry I wasn’t clear. There is only one pendulum. There are two holes to wind
the clock. One for the time and one for the striker. Usually the keys would
both wind the same direction but these don’t. Both wind towards the center.

That is a real old timer. You can tell by the fact that the hands are held on
by a pin. Probably dates this prior to 1850. Looks to be in really great
shape.
Do the two pendulums swing in-phase or out-of-phase? I've never seen a clock
like this, but it must be quite interesting.

This is my old clock. It belonged to my 2x grandfather Elijah Mosher and was
on a shelf in the kitchen when my dad was a boy. It winds up. The pendulum
winds counter clockwise and the striker winds clockwise. Or both keys turn To
the center. The striker is loud and not too pretty but I wind it occasionally
to keep it functioning but generally only have the pendulum running.
Occasionally even the tick tock sounds loud.
It had not run for decades but Matt Clark at the tic toc clock shop in
Pecatonica can fix any clock. He got it running.
