✅ SOLVED Auto Clock

Anybody recognize what this car this clock is from? The face is about 3" diameter. The patent dates on the back are 2164976 and 1931251.

Looks like it is for a 53 Buick.

My thought is it's 1950's vintage, they apparently supplied clocks to a few different makers, as well as the aftermarket. Pretty cool find

Both patents are from the 1930's, with the more recent being granted in 1939: http://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/pdfs/US2164976.pdf
But of course these may have been used for some time... dang, why didn't they put a part number on it!?

the orientation change at the numbers 4 and 8 and the 6 oclock adjuster were common to vdo.even the font of the numbers.I know they supplied vw and others but a place to start

...and yours..
