Sorry for not updating the group. Someone on the list solved the mystery for
me, but I didn't realize that his reply was just to me, or that my "Reply to
All" message thus only went to him. It is a Saab clock from the late 60's. I
would never have pegged that "W" as a Saab logo, but you can see the logo
here; it is the second one down:

aab-logo/
It is hard to believe the thin paint lines cover up the SAAB letters,
but you can even see 'splotches' in the paint where the jet's engines
would have been. Mystery solved!
Thanks for the effort.
Cheers,
Jim
