Condition: generally good average condition. There is missing finish on lower right front of base, and the bottom with a chip of paper missing. The dial however is outstanding, which is the most important part. All manufacturing was government controlled in WWII and Westclox got approval to make these with a paper case (even the rear dust cover is pressed paper). The price was $1.65, imprinted into the dust cover. All set stems and winders are original and the clock is ticking and alarming. Height 5.5 inches [14cm]
