Thomas,
John at the Pierce Arrow Store as a pair on ebay. He has them listed as a an 836, I don’t know what the difference is.

Jim,
Are there any serial numbers on the Walthams? You can date them by the serial number.
Bill
Jim,
Excellent picture. Thanks for posting it. Be careful of the glow in the dark one. It probably has radium on the hands. I would avoid taking it apart. I am intrigued with the two that have the second hand dials. Maybe we can figure out what they fit.
Bill
I don’t know if your car has a Long Clutch in it or not. If it does here I
is a site with parts.

I found
AG 1258 and AG 8007.
Philomena,
Can we start by trying to figure the type. On the title is there a alpha- numeric sequence starting with A. Specifically
AZxxxxxx= Chief
ALxxxxxx= Prince
AHxxxxxx= Big Chief
AGxxxxxx= Scout
Any thing like that?
Jim,
Sounds like a plan. You can use brass hobby tubing as a sleeve , insert the separated ends and solder them if you have enough clearance for the OD of the tube. Did the other clocks have any markings?
Bill
Jim,
It sounds like you have it at the best place. My late father in law was a watchmaker for Westclocks and I have about 5 pounds of stems, plus other watch parts, but none seem like they would be of much help on your project,
Good luck.
Bill
I found a Hemmings ad:
Description:
2 – 1928 Pierce Arrow sedans; 1 black, running and driving, amateur restoration of a nice solid car. The second a dual side mounted sedan with trunk rack. I bought the second car for a donor headlight ring but it came with 3 so I didn’t need it. The car is a great restoration project lots of work has been done and seems very complete .
Price: $36,500 obo 631-891-5657
Jim,
Couple of questions. Who made your clock and is it semi rectangular? Do you have a picture?
Bill
Jim,
Maybe you can do a face or stem swap with this one. It is cheap enough
NON SKID, Sorry for the missing N. I may be a year of two off for Ransom E. Old’s first car. I think ’04 is the organization date.
The other car in picture # 4 I think says REO on the side. Mr. Olds started making cars in ’04 I think and that looks like a really early car.
Car #2&3 may be the same one, but I think 3 is maroon
The green REO car has NO SKID tires. There is an article on them below.
There are either 2 or 3 other cars in the photos on ebay. Can anyone identify them? There is a tan car to the right of the restored car in the
garage and there is either a car in the garage, to the left of the project car and another one in the background of the picture of the tireless spare on the restored car, between it and the Pickup.
Or it might have been the turn at Monza
Five and last
Four (in process second car)
Three
Another
Here are a couple of turned ones
