1920's Stem Wind Car Clocks

[stude24]

Two stem-wind car clocks for sale. Likely from the 1920's.

 

One is Elgin and is approximately 3 inches in diameter,  the other Waltham and is approximately 2-1/2 inches in diameter.

 

Both are currently running, the Waltham was given a shot of WD 40 internally in order to get it started.

 

The Waltham has no glass or front bezel and was probably mounted in an instrument case with a shared glass cover, such as Studebaker used in the mid/late 1920's.

 

Asking $120 for the pair, shipping is $10 within the continental USA. 

 

Send a PM or email me: vpt683@gmail.com if interested.

Does the Elgin have any provision for dash mount?

Threaded holes or studs?

I can't tell in the pictures.

Thanks,

On the Elgin, there are two small holes in the back of the case, however I suspect they are used for a tool to remove the back cover. Other then that no holes or studs.

 

The front bezel (with the glass) is threaded to the body and that may be how it was mounted thru the dash.

That Waltham clock looks remarkably similar to the clock in the blue Reo:

 

I wonder if it was also used as a rear-view mirror/clock accessory because of its small size.

Other than the black face the waltham is the same as in my 1924 Willys knight sitting behind the dash gauge glass.
