Peter, Miss Helen has her original vanity, and clock, I’ve looked closely at it, and it has no indication that it has ever been out of the car, or the clock removed.

And it has a white face.

I also have two other clocks in or from a vanity, and they are white faced..

I can see that it seems logical that the clock in the speedometer would be matched if a clock was added in the back, yet that does not seem to be the case with our Pierce Arrows.

A Mahogany or dark leather vanity would look rather ‘severe’ or ‘intense’ with a black faced clock, where a light or white face makes the vanity look more pleasing..

It would be interesting to have a lot of photos of presumed original vanities with clocks to compare.
