About the style 9 Baby Ben

The style 9 Big Ben and Baby Ben case was designed by Ellworth Danz and is covered by design patent Des. 257,129 issued September 30, 1980. The style 9 was in preliminary production in LaSalle in the last month or two in 1979, and

in full production in Athens, Georgia in 1980.

The standard case colors were black with silver bezel, almond with gold tone bezel, and white with silver bezel. Some non-luminous clocks were made at first (I don’t know for how long), but later just luminous models were made. In the 1990 catalog the only non-luminous models were Big Ben and Baby Ben in white case with gold tone bezel having white dial with brown numerals.

Model:  1980s Style 9 Baby Ben

Made by:   Westclox

Stock No:  1430

Features:  This is a nice example of the style 9 Baby Ben that I found sealed in the box.  It was the last model manufactured in the USA.  It has a soft ticking sound and loud alarm.  There is a loud/soft adjustment for the alarm.

Dimensions:  3 5/8" tall

Condition:  The movement has been serviced and it runs and alarms as it should.  I pulled the clock out of the box to service it.  It looks brand new to me. This model was very popular due to the resemblance to a tachometer for a car.
