Westclox Clocks and Watch Information Needed

Our Westclox research is a ongoing project, and there are many things we still need to find out. Some of the clocks we need to get information about are the following:

• A clock by United Clock Co., LaSalle or Peru, Illinois. Probably has patent date of Sept. 22, 1885
• Any clock with patent date of Sept. 22, 1885 on back but does not say “Other pats. applied for” or “Patents Pending”
• Alarm clocks with patent date of Sept. 22, 1885 on the back
• An 8-day alarm clock with Sept. 22, 1885 patent
• A bell-top tin can alarm clock with a second hand and patent date of Sept. 22, 1885 or Oct. 2, 1902 on back
• Early pocket watch (see below for movement drawing)
• Big Ben with last patent date of 1907, 1908 or 1910
• Baby Ben leg model that says “Made in U.S.A.” at the bottom of the dial
• Brass cased Big Ben style 1

  Big Ben alarm clock made up to mid-1910. Notice the unusual numerals, especially the curve on the number seven.

  Early pocket watches we are looking for:

  Model 1 pocket watch movement	Model 2 pocket watch movement. Patent Sept. 22, 1885
  Drawings from “The Watch that Made The Dollar Famous” by George Townsend, 1974.

  Any information will be most welcome as well. We will acknowledge all help and contributions in our contributors page.
