Ringing Westclox Wind-up Clock

It's interesting to watch the spring and hammer in action, while the alarm is ringing.

I had several of those in the 1990's when I was a kid I'd force it to ring. I had one which was white and plastic that wouldnt stop ticking for at least two years (felt like it) ! It got on my parents nerves so much they put it into a room full of junk and forgot about it. I stumbled upon it and it STILL was ticking, we even put it out in the rain and still ticked took about a week for it to play out!

@raymondleeleggs lol. That poor clock! I just wound this one up tonight, and it still goes on and on. However, it needs to be rewound every 1.5 days or so, since over the years the spring has gotten weaker. I also have the speed adjustment all the way up, as the clock tends to fall behind, if set to normal speed.

How old is it?

[BadRonaldUeno]

probably over 10 years old. I got it in Junior high school or even earlier.

I have been looking for a functional mechanical (not battery-run) clock just like this for AGES! Could you tell me where you got it and for how much? Thanks!
