Here is a Westclox dollar watch, with Elvis on the dial, from the 1968 movie, "Stay Away Joe". I'm not sure if this is an original Westclox dial or if someone put on an after market dial, or a home made dial. I cannot find anything in my reference books on Westclox dollar watches that reference any dials featuring Elvis.
Anyway, all you Elvis fans can enjoy this one,
Dave

Love love it !!!!! I have no idea about original or not but what a neat piece to have . Thanks for sharing it .
Thanks Manikin, I'm glad you love it. Dollar watch companies put a lot of popular images on their dials, so this could be original, but I don't think so, otherwise it would have hour numerals & minute marks, so you could tell what time it is.
Kevin would really have a hard time with this one! (LOL)
