About the Cover

This Month's cover is taken from material found in this issue's article by Mel Kaye on vintage automobile clocks. The background image with the Pierce-Arrow roadster was taken from a Waltham advertisement that appeared in the June 12, 1920, Saturday Evening Post. The Waltham 37-size clock shown on the left was made for this prestigious automobile. The car clock in the center is unusual because of its triangular art deco shape and 3 o'clock winding position. The red shield on the dial of the clock on the right is inscribed: The Royal Indemnity Company. It probably was presented to good customers. Its perforated hands usually were used to hold luminous paint. Here they are left open, creating a delicate lacy effect.
