Subject:      Rarest of the rare option?

Coming home from the Classic, Paula and I passed a young Mexican National
couple in a "1961" 21 window <yeah, I know> that they had attempted to sell
at Pomona over the weekend. They were unaware of the SOTO/Classic events and
drove all the way from "Chee-waa-waa" with no sucess. They were plunking
down I-10 at 42mph. <eep!> Met them at a rest stop and with the help of
Paula's fluent Spanish examined their bus.

Here's the question:

Their overhead air duct had a wind up clock cleanly in the center of their
access plate. They claimed that it was "original-no custom."
Has anyone ever seen such a thing? It looked way cleaner than a hack job. I
could not see any brand name on the clock. The face looked old, well made
and had a F--S adjustment on it for adjusting the fast and slow action of
the clock.
After calling one of guys in California who oughta know-knows nothing and
suggested that it was "Grand Ma's old clock."
-Can anyone indicate otherwise?
How about any listees in the UK or elsewhere?
