High bid $24.00

Status: Sold

E. Ingraham Company oak kitchen clock, identified by the original manufacturer's label reading "The E. Ingraham Co., Bristol, Conn., U.S.A." still affixed inside the case back along with the original winding instructions. The case features a heavily carved crest with a fan and floral motif, flanked by carved sunburst-and-scroll side columns, and rests on a molded, rope-carved base. The clock retains a glass door tablet, decorated in gold with foliate scrollwork and a gilt floral medallion at the pendulum, and the copper-toned bezel holds a white dial with black Roman numerals and spade hands. Inside, the time-and-strike movement with alarm function is visible, along with an ornate pierced brass pendulum bob, and the clock is accompanied by its winding key. Condition shows honest wear with some portions of this clock being refinished. The movement has been removed, fixed and re attached to an original backing and the newer screws are visible. The frame of the clock does not appear to be fully original but has been well refinished and is an overall nice looking clock. The key turns accordingly, and the movement chimes on the hour. Dimensions: 14 3/4"W X 23"H
