Rotary tape measure clocks, ca. 1940.  Two desktop clocks, 5 inches in diameter and 3 inches tall.  Both are running; the bronze clock (A) was made by K&S Sales Co., Chicago Il (stamped on the bottom), and the maker of the green clock (B) is not shown.  I did not open either clock.  I believe these clocks were popular from the 1930’s through the 1950’s.  Bid on A or B or ‘either’ if you don’t care which one you get.  Or bid on both.  In the most recent sale I can find on LiveAuctioneers a set of three of these sold for $175, but prices are all over the place.  $50–$100.
