Catalog Description:

Three (3) Westclox Baby Ben Alarm Clocks Last patent date 1925. Nickle plated case with brass works, 2 3/4 diameter. Dials marked BABY BEN-WESTCLOX La Salle Illinois USA. Condition: very good. The cases are clean and undamaged. Dealer comments: Here are three little sweethearts-all made by the Westclox Co. in LaSalle Illinois and with last patent date stamped on the back of the clocks as: 1920 (on two of them) and 1925 on the third. This set of triplets is being sold together as a lot. The top controls allow settings for STEADY ALARM or REPEAT (sort of an early version of the modern SNOOZE setting on modern clocks). There is also a setting on the other side of the top ring for ALARM and SILENT. The clocks run and the alarms work properly. Each of the dials are about the same condition as the others-clean and excellent! (The photographs make the center clock dial look brighter and whiter but they are nearly identical-that's just an illusion caused by the camera flash being closer to the center clock.)
