Baby Ben with 2 Inch Movement
The Baby Ben with 2 inch movement was the first Baby Ben made, and was sold from 1910 to 1912. This
clock has no model name or company name on either the dial or the movement, just the patent dates Oct. 28, 1902; June 9, 1908;
and Dec. 15, 1908 on the back. The examples we know of have movement dates ranging from October 18, 1910 to May 15, 1912.
