Introduced in 1939, the Baby Ben Style 5 was designed by celebrated American industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss, whose streamlined products helped define modern industrial design. Westclox produced this model until 1949, with civilian clock production interrupted during the Second World War. This Canadian example was made by Western Clock Co. Limited in Peterborough, Ontario, where Westclox had established production in 1920. The compact Baby Ben became one of the company's enduring household designs.
