Austin Clock? Somewhere in Canada

Hi

I found your interesting site while trying to identify a vintage dashboard clock I recently bought at a sale. The seller told me it was from an old Austin but knew nothing more. The clock has no marks on it and the crown for setting is missing (although it still performs its job). It is wound by three pulls on a cord - it works well and runs for about 18 hours before winding is needed again. Any information you may be able to give me on this piece would be greatly appreciated. I attach a couple of photos. Thank you for your time.

Regards Bill Adair

I'm presuming it's a Standard 8

It is in very good shape and you can see a bit of a shine on the shady side.

The back of the Standard, the paint is rather faded but the licence tag is 09, so it's in use

With the trafficators and right hand drive it is probably late 1950's.
