Well here are some pictures of my clock, which I thought had been a standard New Haven or West Clock converted to electric.

The back of my clock says:
Ford Made in U.S.A
Borg Instruments
Patents:
3,688,395
3,583,152
2,858,029
3,137,122

I may be off on the patent numbers as they were hard to pick out.
My only research was on the Borg Instrument Company, which according to Google did manufacture electric clocks for Ford.

Am I lucky or just wishing?

As always the knowledge and insights on this forum are just remarkable.

Sorry, you are wishing,
It is obvious, to me anyway, that someone converted the stock wind up clock to an electric operated clock. Regardless, this is not the elusive accessory.
