Is the clock running? If not, it's probably grease hardened up in the rotor, the copper colored part in the clock assembly.
Look up "Telechron" on the internet.

Yes the clock runs. I always loved the type of clocks that have a "sweeping" second hand as opposed to the "Tick Tick Tick" every second as battery powered clocks do.

The radio also works it is filthy inside but looks to not had much use. It picks up a few New York AM stations and I believe one Connecticut station

600KHZ 660KHZ and 880KHZ (as checked on a digital tuned radio) I am in the Trumbull, CT area I don't even know the names of the stations I am picking up

I am more of into modern/semi-modern Solid State stuff (Hence my user name) if anything I am keeping it just for the clock
