Window not staying open
Hello,
I recently had a part fall out of the corner of a very old window and it won't hold itself up anymore. I really just need to know what the part is called so I can get myself a new one and figure out how to put it back in. Any and all assistance is appreciated. Picture is below, sorry about the image quality/mess.
Here is the part in question.
I believe the house was built sometime in the 1950s, and I think the windows might be the originals.

You won't find parts for those. Might as well cut a board to fit under it to keep it up, or a small block nailed to the side if it's the top sash that is falling down.

You can buy window sash spring clips that will go between the window and the frame.
something like this

Norm, this window has some of the first spiral/spring balances, so unless he can remove the sash and remove both both balances, I don't think spring clips will work.
