Thought you might like this Canadian 1959 model Kerry
Very Nice, I like the color difference in Canadian model, small diff, but can see when side-by-side
Is the American model stamped Westclox?
Marked Columbia Time INC.
Mine says patentened in 1946. Made in Canada. Then has a paper on the back saying made by western clock Co. Ltd. I was reading in the Canadian clock museum history that this model wasn't marked Westclox.
The Canadian model isn't marked with any MFG. name to my knowledge. Other than Walter Lantz and made in Canada
The clock works were pat. 1946, the dial 1959
