Ingraham "Kitchen Clock" from the Ocean Series, circa 1900

Acquired at an estate auction May 12 2008. The clock is a typical American oak "kitchen" or "Gingerbread" clock with pressed oak decorations. The clock had spent many years being neglected in a barn, but was pretty much all original and untouched except that the pendulum was missing. The 5th & 6th pictures shows how it looked when purchased. Under all the filth, someone had painted it an awful gray color. The case was stripped, reglued/nailed, and warped parts straightened. The 8-day brass movement was filthy and needed 12 bushings, but now looks and runs great. Strikes the hour and the half on a nice sounding original gong. A replacement dial was greated from a scan of the original, which was too far gone to salvage. The pendulum shown is a temporary replacement until I obtain a more appropriate pendulum. I kept the original stenciled door glass even though it is not in great condition. Overall a nice early American clock.
