Westclox 1964 Big Ben Classic White Alarm Clock

This clock is cheaply made compared with those made in the U.S. decades ago. Just about everything is plastic, including the lens. If the lens were glass, one could see the numbers and hands easily. But instead, the lens is plastic -- smoked plastic. As a result, there is little contrast between the numbers/hands and the surface behind them. So the clock is difficult to read, even in a well-lit room from just a few feet away. The picture shown on the item description page is totally misleading!

I am very happy with the seller when the clock I received was defective. They refunded the money including the shipping and I would buy from them again but not the clock as described by first reviewer.
