Good Morning Akstraw,

 

Welcome!

 

I have had good luck with "saved searches" on Ebay.  I get anywhere from 10 to 30 antique parts listed and sent to my email account for a Marmon every day.  You have to be careful as some of the parts are generic and fit many of the luxury automobiles of the period but it's a good resource.

 

Do you know the size and make is the clock in your Marmon.

 

Good luck with your project!

Thanks for your thoughts.  The ideal clock would be an 8-day stem-wind with a black face, a 3" diameter dial.  It requires no bezel or lense, as it mounts behind the glass instrument panel facing.  The case diameter is a maximum of 3 5/16",  The stem must be located at the 6 o'clock position, and is about 2.5 inches long.  I think the original was a Waltham, but a make other than Waltham would be okay, if the dimensions and face color were correct.
