Apco clock

[Grandy]

I came across an Apco clock and oil gauge can anyone share some information especially about the clock. I would be glad to email photos. I also found a bracket that looks like it may mount on the steering column. Any help you can share will be appreciated. Thanks

Here is are two photos from the "Vest Pocket catalog of APCO Automotive Equipment for Model "A" Fords"





...so your double bracket would be correct for the clock as part of APCO outfit No. 41. As you can see from the catalog, the oil gauge came with each of the three versions......with the second gauge being either a clock, a temperature gauge, or an "ash receiver" (the most difficult one to locate, but "will be found acceptable to smokers"!).

Thanks Brad do you happen to know their value? In searching through the boxes I did find one of those brackets too

I have no idea what an original would sell for these days. They do make reproductions of the double bracket (at Berts for example: http://parts.modelastore.com/show_Product.asp?ID=4882) that run round $85 for the bracket with out the gauges. The gauges are also available new, but don't look anything close to what the original look like.

Here's an original bracket with only the oil pressure gauge:


....vs the repro (from Berts):

We all knew this question would follow ! I got the clock and the ash tray in the box at Hershy 3 years ago for $250 in pristine condition. Wayne
