Default Speedo ID. Year, Model?

This speedo is from a parts stash that a friend who passed had. I'm helping his widow dispose of some of it so I'd like to know what year and model this speedo is from. All I know is that its a Waltham and that the trip meter works. Thanks.

Face looks like 35, but it appears to have been 'cobbled' up to fit some larger, unknown housing?

The face looks identical to the speedos in my 35 standard models.

I'm thinking it's a '36 because of the Ford script at the bottom. My '35 didn't have the Ford script. Pat

Thanks again for all the helpful and knowledgeable replies. I'll advertise it with the year range/info provided and as a parts speedo and let a potential buyer determine if it will work for them.

Pat, I think you are correct. My old eyes missed the Ford script logo on the bottom of the face. That logo does usually mean '36, although it should fit and work in either '35 or '36, but would not be show correct in a '35.
