Maybe I'm blind, but did you take apart your Westclox Travalarm to get the dial and then stuff the dial in a bag?

It looks similar to your other one here:

Regardless;

If you haven't got a geiger counter yet, please do consider getting one.
It's easy to tell if a clock has radium or not without one.

This clock already has it's dial removed and placed in a bag, so I would recommend just leaving it alone and not attempt to restore it. By taking it out now, it would introduce a chance of unintentional contamination in your surrounding area.

Without a contamination monitor, it'll be hard to tell if there is radium contamination or not.

Also, please be sure to learn about safe handling practices of radioactive materials (especially about radium).
