Thanks for the info. After checking I have determined that the dial is not radium. I showed my buddy this clock and he asked me to show the attached pics to maybe identify this instrument. He was given this item some years ago.

I purchased this clock on Ebay. I was able to figure how to wind it and set the time by turning the black bezzle. I opened up the back and discovered it has a 17 jeweled movement. I keeps perfect time. There is some writing on the face that I think is Crylic lettering. Can anyone help me...
