Ok Sargeguy, you mentioned you prefer telephones from the New England area.  Here's what you need to complete your collection.

Thanks, that 8-day clock has been around for a while now, a little too pricey considering the condition issues.  These were used on phone trucks back in the olden days.  Another one in better condition sold for a lot less recently:

I had already exceeded the phone budget for the week so I had to pass.

It's a Beatles watch. Y'know..."Eight Days A Week".

FYI, "8 Days" refers to how long it's supposed to stay running after being fully wound. So if you normally wind it on a certain day each week, if you forget once but remember on the next day, it should still be running.

I have found out a little more about this type of watch, they were used in vehicles before clocks became standard equipment.  So I imagine these would have been used on trucks.
