Westclox Big Ben and Baby Ben Identification Guide

New Edition Available for Free Download!

In 1984, my friend Richard Tjarks and I published the "Westclox Big Ben and Baby Ben Identification Guide" to go along with the display of Westclox clocks and watches at the NAWCC National Convention in Indianapolis.

I have added recent research findings and more material to the guide, and it is available for download in PDF form. It is available free of charge, although donations are welcome! Jeff Wood and I are continuing our Westclox research. Jeff is particularly interested in early baby Ben and Big Ben history, while I am putting together information about Big Ben and Baby Ben variations.

The current version of the ID guide is dated June 8, 2008. Additional material includes patents, reproductions and Big Ben and Baby Ben electric clocks. The file is about 20 megabytes, so it may take a little while to download.
