This vintage Westinghouse electric alarm clock is in perfect working order. The cord is good. It is missing one silver colored knob on the top front but the function it serves works. I would like to know more about this clock and it's value. What would you like to share?

Hi, I own one of these Westinghouse clocks/appliance timer. It was use for the 18 to 22 quart Westinghouse roaster and was mounted in a white steel cabinet on which the roaster rested. Again, it's basically an appliance timer.
These Westinghouse timers were sold through the 1950s and are fairly easy to find these days. Ebay prices typically $3-10 in comparable condition.
I have one just like it, but in much better shape. Not terribly valuable.. yours is probably worth in the $5-$10 range (if it works), mine is probably worth about $20-$30, just because of the condition and it is complete. I'll post pictures of mine for reference.
You've got a neat item that crosses over between vintage kitchen, clocks, and general Westinghouse. Hope you enjoy it!
