IML: is this a dashmount clock?

[<pnkmoore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was at a yard sale today and bought what appears to be an in-dash flush 
mount brass clock for an antique car.  It's says "Honeywell, Type R" on the 
face and the bezel screws off so you can key-wind it.  Plainly, it was 
designed to drop into a dashboard well-hole (or some similar panel) and 
could be extracted to wind and set the time, etc.

It reminds me of a Cartier insert clock that went into a certain year 
Imperial that I don't currently recall.  (required Imperial content.  Kinda 
lame, I know, but I don't know who else to ask)

Anyone know if any auto manufacturer that used a flush mount Honeywell dash 
clock?  Or was this the early 20th Century version of the "add it to your 
car"  Walgreens' auto accessory aisle clock?   Photos sent to whoever is 
interested.  I paid $4 whole dollars for it, so it was just for fun and 
certainly for sale if anyone needs just this thing for their restoration 
project, etc.  Otherwise, it will go on my crowded clock shelf forever.
