Automobile Clocks
Here is an automobile clock that has been tentatively
identified as belonging to a 1938 Buick (see this Tom Harris auction
link for more information).
This clock is dated 10 21 36 (October 21, 1936) on the
movement. It has a pull-wind movement (the knob and string are missing)
and the string entered through the opening in the bottom of the case. The
set knob, which is missing, attaches to the shaft at the bottom of the dial
(where the numeral six would be). The mounting bracket is separate from
the clock, and is attached with two screws (see the bottom photo). The color
is a metallic brownish-gray (not as brown as the pictures show).
The clock is 3 3/4 inches wide and 2 3/8 inches tall.
If anyone has any more information,
