Antique E. Ingraham Co. Mantel Clock with Key & Pendulum
Bring a piece of timeless American craftsmanship into your home with this stunning antique mechanical mantel clock from the prestigious E. Ingraham Company, made in Bristol, Connecticut. While this beautiful timepiece is currently non-operational, it comes complete with its winding key and pendulum, making it an excellent candidate for restoration or a standout decorative statement.
Adding to its rich history, this clock includes a charming piece of its past: a vintage business card from "Clock Place" in Green Bay, WI, found tucked inside the casing by its previous owner, featuring the year "1910" handwritten on the back. A great clue to the piece's story!
