Westclox Wall Clock, 1958-1973

Throughout the 20th century, American workplaces and schools relied on large, easy-to-read wall clocks. Employees in a service station, for example, needed a large-scale wall clock to provide service-time estimates to customers, and to monitor opening and closing times. This Westclox model, with its chrome-plated shell and white dial, represents the epitome of the simple wall clock.
