I need help finding this old clock.?

Question

I found an eBay listing a long time ago for a Westclox alarm clock. They called it the switch clock and had the model number listed. I think the name is wrong because the model number on the clock in the picture was different than the one they listed. I couldn't find any clocks like it by searching the model number listed but, I could find others like it with the model number in the picture.

A long with all the standard fetuses it had a wall plug on the back and two dials on the front for setting the time the plug turned on.  It was about the size of an basketball.

I would love to add this clock to my collection. If anybody knows the model number that would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

A lot of clocks have been made with several different brands and 
model designations for the same (or nearly the same) design, 
so it's very difficult to identify some of them unless they have a label 
(or a molded-in number) on them that you can look at.

Also, a number of design numbers and names have been applied to 
two or more very different items. It's easy to confuse one for another 
unless you have images of them or are holding the the things in your hands.

Get a copy of Mark Stein's book "Collector's Guide 
To 20th Century Modern Clocks".
It may help you find what you are looking for 
(and make you want a bunch of other stuff).
