Condition Notes for Your Listing

To maximize your auction success, be sure to inspect and note the following in your description:

• Functionality: Does the clock currently tick and keep time? Does the alarm bell ring?
• Aesthetics: Mention any surface wear, such as the visible oxidation or "patina" on the metal casing and any discoloration on the dial.
• Safety Note: Some vintage Westclox models from this era used radium for luminous hands or dials. If the hands glow in the dark, it is best practice to mention this to potential collectors.
