I use this site extensively in identifying clocks and instruments. While I haven't identified them independently, I have never found this site to be incorrect. It has been spot-on. I do know the mirror clocks pages you showed are non-proprietary clocks that were available for cars of many makes and models. these were made by Phinney Walker, New Haven etc.

 

many thanks

Not at all. I have found that many car companies put these non-proprietary clocks in their brochures in the early-mid 30s. I think sometimes an optional accessory clock of proprietary design was added later. It was in the early 30s that car clocks started to transition from non-proprietary to proprietary. Clocks became specific to individual manufacturers and models.

Interesting I have found that the instrument site was probably incorrect. I now believe these clocks fit 1930-1931 studebaker and have seen dash images that corroborate this.  Thanks for pressing on this. Russel is updating his site with the new information

The 34-36 clock directly under the pix  is one I supplied to him along with other 34-36 Auburn gauges .  He is at the mercy of the person that supplies the information. Just sayinnnn.

Sorry for the inverted pictures on the previous post.

The clock and the mirror, I am looking for to complete my 1931 Buick Phaeton, anyone have one??????

While i don't know for certain what was used in your '31 Buick, if you have a mirror clock rather than a dash clock it could have been any of the attached. They were largely non-proprietary and each of these would have been available in 1931. I have also seen a clock with a similar shaped "organic" bezel that fits in the dash..really not certain of the years or models its associated with. Do you know if your clock is mirror mount or dash mount?
