Antique Ingraham Black Mantel or Shelf Clock, 8 day time and half hour strike, from 1904 (movement is marked '4 04' indicating April 1904) , in excellent working condition. Original finish restored. High gloss shine is that way without wax or polish. Has red marbleized moldings above and below 2 imitation onyx (celluloid) columns flanking the face. Has an ornate handle on each end and ornate feet. Has incised gold designs on the and around the face in good condition with little wear. Metal trimmings are restored to their original antique gold finish, and are gilt with metal leaf, which retains its luster and will not turn brown (as gold paint does after a couple of years). Brass bezel and brass centered face polished and finished. Paper face track is replaced. Clock movement has been overhauled, worn bushings replaced. Clock movement has just been serviced (serviced means cleaned, lubricated, and balanced), using only the finest German synthetic lubricants. Synthetic lubricants are superior to standard petrochemical 'oils'. They have better lubricating qualities, are longer lasting and do not discolor, smell or become gummy with age, requiring less frequent maintenance. This clock is in excellent condition, except for a few minor dings usual with a clock of this age. Clock strikes hour on a cathedral gong and the half hour on a bell. Original wood back cover, key and pendulum bob are replacements.
Dimensions: 11 inches high, 17 inches wide, 7 inches deep.

Included with the clock are instructions for setting up and maintaining it. I am also available after the sale for any questions you may have. Thank you for taking the time to consider this clock.
