Westclox

Westclox clocks :
‘Big Ben’ made in USA  c.1916
‘Baby Ben’ USA  c.1964
‘America’ USA  c.1932 and
Five Rams clock, made in china c.1970s

All clocks are wind-up, with alarms, in working order. Big Ben is missing a ring on its top, but I think it looks better without it. America is quite rusted, but it being made in the 30s it’s entitled to be. Baby Ben, being of a later vintage, has a funky 60s aesthetic and glow in the dark numbers and hands. Westclox are very collectible, with whole websites devoted to their identification, buying and selling.

Clocks look great massed together – just make sure you have three or more.  For sale: $AUD115

  1. Excellent clocks, think in the 70s, I had a bedside clock that featured a silent tick, which was great, not hearing that constant ticking all night. They had a saying on either radio or tele, ‘Westclock are the best Clocks.

    • thanks faye,
      i agree with you about the ticking- but – also i love the analogue nature of winding and the mechanisms that mark time. what an invention!
