1940 Buick plastic clock face and glove box light

[Drakeule]

Anybody have a source for these?

It's the face which has minutes marked off. The glove box light looks like it has a mercury switch in it.

Thanks,

I believe that Skip Boyer used to make the clock face. I bought mine from him about 15 years ago. His email address was RICHBOY@SUSCOM.NET

Glove box light has 3 small balls inside. When it tilts down the balls close the circuit.

The clocks come up on Ebay fairly often.  In some, the faces are completely fried and distorted.  On others, they look pretty good.  Here's an example of one that looks good (but priced accordingly):

Also, here's a reproduction of just the plastic piece:

I had to buy a junk clock just to get the switch, but Neal is right they do come up frequently at a reasonable price.
