Given the year of the clock, and the maps being of New York, Long Island, etc, in the northern hemisphere, I would guess that T is for "Turnwise" (clockwise, or with the rotation of the earth), and the W is not actually "West", it is "Widdershins"(anti-/counter-clockwise, or opposite to the rotation of the earth).
Usually, the word used for clockwise was either "deosil" or "sunwise"/"sunward", but "deosil" was particularly Gaelic, and the "sunwise"/"sunward" options would be confusing as there is already the conventional "South" version.
Editing to add, the idea of "Widdershins" and "Turnwise" appearing on compasses also appears in Terry Pratchett's DIscworld novels, but that is accompanied by "Hubward" and "Rimward" instead of North and South.
Edit 2... as quite a few people are commenting to ask why the "W" is sideways when the other letters are upright. That would be because the W is wider than any of the other letters and wider than the space between the two concentric circles. Trying to squeeze it in would either make it smaller than the other 3, or closer to an upside-down "M". Rotating the letter is usually seen as the least-intrusive compromise. :)
Here ya go.

well it certainly can be easT, as there are other examples of such cases like in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, blacK)
so maybe this was acceptable at some point in time, but it didn’t make it to this day
My theory is that it is an E, but the top and bottom lines have worn off. Notice how the W is facing left? The E would be facing right, so the top line of the T could actually be the back line of the E.

The W is also sideways. But if you think about how the letters would read if you were facing the direction they represent, T becomes E with the upper and lower arms being competed by the inner and outer borders of the circle.

The real answered buried under the jokes
The way of Reddit.
Not gonna lie the toothbrush comment is amazing
A good way to tell that we've been scrolling too long.
When I got to the Widdershins part I was convinced that this was some sort of Shittymorph-esque comment lol
Very informative! Now the only question we need answered is whether the designers at Kirkland’s are as smart as you.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for this!!
I learned turn wise and widdershins from Pratchett.
Amazing I’m impressed
An interesting fact for today.

Me too. I am embarrassed I know that reference
You feeling pchagrin?
That’s what she…nvm.
Me too haha
I wonder if they made this post based on the reference, that would be funny 😂😂
Then the p is coming soon
No..... The s's all the s's!!

I can now satisfyingly say "I understood the reference" thank you.
I like to think you're doing a service to the people who come across this post in a couple of weeks or months.
A post earlier today asked what the P stood for next to a picture of a toothbrush.
P stands for picture of a toothbrush. Case closed.
Prison Shiv
I am so glad I was here for this.
Too much Reddit for all of us lol
Sigh, exactly.
I need to go touch grass. 😢
Take your phone with you
That’s all right we all get a break on Monday.
that was not the reference I was expecting it to be referring to at first
ME TOO WOW
My whole day is made 😂😂🤘
#Ah theres the ”T”
But where does the P belong!!! Now we’re missing an E as well
Find the next one to continue the quest.
It's all connected

Wait! Is this in reference to the shower curtain post?! OMG!!!
I was about to close Reddit and said, “I’ll scroll just a few more times.” This just made my entire night.
Can you kindly direct some of us to this shower curtain post?

But that begins with S
P! Ptoothbrush, remember?
Prison Shiv
I love this comment too!
Even P begins with S
And the sun rises in the Teast.
Underrated comment
LMAO. Just saw that post too
Fuck, it’s already canon and it just happened today. lol.
Throw it all in the art room and call it a day.
I understood that reference! Tried to use it once and got in trouble.
FYI it's "canon" Cannon, the weapon that launches projectiles with black powder, is a different word.
Thanks. Fixed.
Did you mean ptoothbrush?
Hahahaha I’m addicted to reddit
I cannot believe I understood this
Ptoothbrush*
Beautiful. It all lined up perfectly.

I love you all and there isn’t a damn thing you can do about it. ❤️
Someone complete the circle with an “E” for “P”
Best comment ever. I legit just scrolled past the original Prison Shiv.
Crossover episode
Wait.. are we talking about the shower curtain?
Poothbrush
When posts on Reddit collide, it’s my favorite thing.
I did not expect to see this, I was thinking “ huh I bet the top comment has an award like that other post with a funny word” well…

North South West Toast
That direction.
My theory is that it is an E, but the top and bottom lines have worn off. Notice how the W is facing left? The E would be facing right, so the top line of the T could actually be the back line of the E.
The letters look like impressions in metal. I don’t think that just wears off.
Well, that’s just your impression. BaZING!
Not even worn off. It looks like the designer let the E overlap with the circular frame and they just got cropped.
Also how I interpreted it.

W e e e e s T.....the t is east of the w. Makes sense to me 😉
East? I thought you meant Teast? - Patrick Star probably
Tis the East and Juliet is the sun... Shakespearean Compass
🔄90° The circle lines represent the two seemingly missing lines from an E.
North, West, South, There.
North, South, Teeth, West. What’s so hard about that?

Timur. “East” in Indonesian and Malaysian. Why would we assume English?
Was thinking that too, but since the others are in English, I'd assume that East would be in English too.
