Please use the above links to go to the section
you are looking for. You can always come back to
this HOME page.
What you will find here.
Photos and information about the
timepieces made by Westclox. You can start out by
looking at thumbnail pictures and click on the
picture to find detailed information and larger
photos. The individual pages are created so that
all photos can be viewed without scrolling up or
down the page. Your mouse is all that should be
necessary. When you go to a page about a
timepeice, please allow the photos to load.
Watching the loading bar on Internet Explorer is
helpful. Netscape will keep you updated as the
info loads. If you think you are having problems
with the photos, please click on the
"Help" link for more detailed
information.
What you will NOT find here.
The words "art deco" have been
used to a point of what I consider abuse, so you
will not find any reference to deco or similar
words or phrases.
Bakelite, catalin, celluloid are all name brands
of plastic. Unless it is documented by Westclox
or proven otherwise, just the word
"plastic" will be used.
The metals used in many of the clock cases range
from brass, steel, aluminum to pot metal, etc..
Sometimes the same clock model from the same era
were produced with different metals. To avoid
confusion, all painted or nickel plated metals
will simply be referred to as "metal".
You will often see the word "chrome"
used. Those clocks (the old ones) are nickel
plated.
FAKE or FANTASY timepieces.
It is a sad reality that these pieces exist but
you will NOT see them here. Some of these are the
black americana themed pieces and made up (not by
Westclox) advertising pieces.
Needed
I do not own every model and variation
of Westlcox timepieces. I welcome all valid
submissions of clock, watches and other Westclox
items that you may not see here. Please go to the
submission link to see what is needed to have
your timepiece added to the gallery. No timepiece
that is altered or fake will be added. I reserve
the right to make the final determination unless
you can provide adequate proof on a questionable
piece.
This site will continue to grow and I will be
adding more and more Westclox items as time
permits. All the info is free. I just ask that
you do not hotlink to any of my images or info on
this website. Any copies from this site must
state that the information comes from
www.vintagewestclox.com.
All suggestions are
welcomed!
Please do not hesitate to Email me with
any suggestions or comments about the site. If
you see some information that you feel is
incorrect or should be expanded upon, please let
me know!
Please, enjoy the site!
