PerformanceThe clock doesn't run as it sits. Will need repair. the winder recoils when advanced. The clock has not otherwise been tested for accuracy or long-term duration, and is sold "as is".DescriptionWestclox Big Ben with a nickel plated case, base, and back, and a non-luminous white dial. The clock stands about 5-3/4 inches high by 5-3/4 inches wide, and weighs almost 2 pounds. Westclox style 2 Big Ben alarm clocks with this particular dial were made from 1927 to... 1930. {source: ClockHistory.com} The clock is parts-complete with model-correct parts. The dial is nice. The hands, brass trim ring, and glass are in excellent condition. The nickel plated case is nice with no dents or dings and some oxidation. The nickel plated back is nice with only a hint of oxidation. The pedestal base has a small chip on the back. This is a beautiful and well-made heavy alarm clock - it has a glass lens, and the case, back, and movement are metal. It was made in La Salle, Illinois, USA. No Warranty or Returns The clock is over 90 years old, and only came with a warranty for defective material when it was new! It is unknown if this antique mechanical device has been serviced since leaving the factory almost 90 years ago. Due to its age and the "handling" by USPS, I cannot guarantee fragile antique mechanical clocks to properly run or alarm upon delivery. Please review pictures carefully, and ask questions prior to buying. The clock is sold "as is" and, unless I have made a gross error in describing the clock, all sales are final.
