E. Ingraham 6-Column Black Mantel Clock, circa 1911
This clock is a typical American black mantel clock made by E. Ingraham
Clock Co, around 1911. The case is wood with faux marble columns. The spring
powered 8-day brass movement has a half-deadbeat escapement with hour strike on a
coiled gong and the half-hour strike on a passing bell. This is a count wheel
movement. The escape wheel and verge are on the front of the movement necessitating
removal of the face to make beat adjustments, which is typical Ingraham style. The
signed movement is dated April 1911
The case and finish appear to be untouched original. The movement has been bushed
and is in good running condition (Feb. 2014). The pendulum is a reproduction. I
have not been able to identify the model name. Anyone recognize this clock?
