I love Victor batwing records, a lot, so it was good to see batwing-specific merchandise.
Jus seeing this...what is "batwing merchandise" ...sounds nifty!! Not sure if I ever posted a pic...so, here is the clock in all its glory!

Winding a Victrola clock is a natural thing to do! :)
Nice addition to your collection.

The style of record label on the clock is referred to as the ‘batwing’ label because of those two pendant-like devices at the 11 and 1 o’clock positions. Those were originally intended as spaces to write the album and page number.
