E. Ingraham & Co. Cosmo Mantel Clock, circa 1925

This is nice little E. Ingraham & Co. Tambour style clock named "Cosmo", circa 1925. The movement in the clock is dated July, 1925 and is believed to be original. Natural wood case (no veneer) and a silvered dial with black numerals which shows typical wear. The 8 day brass movement strikes hours and half hours on a cathedral gong. The movement is typical Ingraham with a half-deadbeat escapement and flat stamped steel control and strike levers, which were common during this time period.

When this little clock arrive for repair, a close inspection revealed a cracked cannon pinion (gear). This is a fairly common problem with some Ingraham and Gilbert clocks from this time period. Repair or replacement of the damaged part can be costly. The damaged pinion was replaced and the clock was restored to good health.
