Early Westclox “Baby Ben” nickel alarm clock

An early Westclox “Baby Ben” mechanical alarm clock, dating to approximately the 1910s–1920s and made by the Western Clock Company of La Salle, Illinois. This charming American timepiece features a nickel-plated metal case with distinctive peg feet, an aged paper dial with bold Arabic numerals, blued steel hands, and a separate alarm-setting subdial. The Baby Ben was introduced as the compact counterpart to Westclox’s popular Big Ben and became an enduring early 20th-century bedside clock design. Approximately 3.25” high. In working condition with age-related wear and patina consistent with its history; timekeeping accuracy has not been tested.
