I picked up this Westclox alarm clock yesterday at a local thrift shop for $3.00.
It's an White Baby Ben style 8 alarm clock with brass trim, brown face and Luminous dial.
It needs a little cleaning, I think it came out of a smokers home. I wound it up and it is keeping good time.
The alarm works well and the bells are loud. I looked it up and it is dated between 1964 and 1980.
Under the number 6 on the face it says:

MADE BY WESCLOX CANADA LIMITED. PETERBOROUGH, CANADA

I like Baby Ben's.  I've got 3 of the previous style (very similar but with round bezel instead of oval), all a bit different.  I wind one up for a backup on stormy nights in case the power goes off.  The bell sound in these is made by a hammer kicking out against the inside of the case.
