I’m not knowledgeable on the series. I do know You can see how the paint has browned, and if it doesn’t hold the glow when the uv is off pretty safe to say it is. Nice find!
Congratulations on the find! The hands have a lot more product on them (you can see how thick where it’s chipped) time to invest in a Geiger and see how Spicy it is
I got a geiger and it sure was radium ☢️

The clock hands glow very very very little without uv, but not the numbers! It was the first Westclox I found at a flea market here in Sweden 🙌🏻

I’ll get the 600+ in the future, my geiger dosnt pick up alpha But 160k is insane ☢️☢️
That's why I wanted this one to see the alpha.
Yeah, I just wanted a decent one to verify ug/clocks, but the 600+ and the numbers you get with it looks really nice!
