Vintage Westclox Alarm Clock - "Spur" Model Series 66

I remember my Dad winding one of these Westclox up every night.  How did people sleep with these loud ticking timepieces beside their bed?

We recently visited Fred & Ethel's in Rock Island, Illinois and found they had four of these clocks!  I didn't hesitate to drop the requested $12.00 for a working reminder of days gone by.

And, yes!  The hands and numbers are large and luminous!
