This is a classic Westclox Baby Ben Model 66-G, produced in the early-to-mid 1960s — a transitional era when Westclox shifted from the post-war metal Baby Bens into the sleeker, modernized plastic-backed designs of the 60s.
This example features the desirable black dial with gold numerals, domed crystal, brass bezel, and the original tan wedge base. The movement is the familiar wind-up mechanical alarm, with separate arbors for time and alarm, along with Westclox’s soft/loud alarm selector.
And yes — for the collectors who care (which is all of us here at Timekeeper’s Attic) — this Baby Ben ticks smoothly, keeps reliable time, and the alarm rings just as it should. A proper, fully functioning mid-century mechanical.
📏 Dimensions: Approximately 3.75" diameter (see photo with ruler)
🔧 Movement: Fully mechanical, wind-up
📣 Alarm: Functional soft/loud selector
🌎 Made in USA: LaSalle, Illinois
These Model 66-series Baby Bens are sought after today because they mark the final decade before Westclox moved into heavy plastic production and later quartz-conversion models. It’s a true slice of mid-century American industrial design, simple, reliable, and unmistakably Westclox.
Perfect for collectors of mid-century clocks, Westclox enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates a reliable mechanical piece with real history and charm.
