When I saw this it suprised me, I always wondered what a tambour would look like with a digital read out, and there it was. This is a Pennwood Tambour Mantel Numechron Model 121, made between 1939-45, with an Adler Royal case. The numechron is stamped on the interior of the case 121, so I assume that is the model number.
