Westclox Information

My collection is from a gentleman who was president of a wholesale business in Indianpolis and in the 70's (?) he set aside four Westclox wrist watches. Two are still in their original wholesale AND retail boxes and two might be in their original boxes but I'm not sure. They look to be about as mint as you can get. Is there a yearly watch auction or auction house that handles watch collections regularly? Thanks

I would not bother. You would be money ahead putting them up on E-bay. Better yet pass them on to a grandchild, or donate them to a museum.

If you have to spend more than a few dollars listing them, you spent too much.

Westclox wrist watches sold for only a few dollars when they were new. As a result they sold a lot of them. The US military issued thousands of some models to pilots, and other military members. There are just far too many still running that can be had for little money. At yard sales, they are almost as common as table lamps.

Sorry
