Description

This Westclox Baby Ben was made from 1964 - 1980. It features a black face, a black base, nickel trim, and a luminous dial. Although, electric Baby Ben alarm clocks were eventually introduced, a majority of the clocks, such as the one shown here, were wound with a key and did not need electricity or batteries to run. The first Baby Ben alarm clock was sold in 1910, and they are still in production today.
