That's my Constable above. With luminous hands and numerals, he's the Sheriff. It was the alarm version of the Usher. These clocks were odd in that, despite their "campaign" model number, they appeared in catalogs and brochures suggesting either they were more popular than anticipated or somebody messed up the numbering. They do have steel dials and really no corners have been cut that I could find.

Officially, these were only sold in black and ivory but you can find them in walnut bakelite too. The one above has a new, old stock case I was lucky enough to snag off Ebay. The "noise holes" under the set knobs, thinner than paper, aren't even punched out! Sheriff in ivory.

One more kind of Constable to worry about. The hands and dial AREN'T luminous, they just look it, and that is probably unique to the walnut bakelite ones.
