Future Projects

Here are a few future project clocks that I will be restoring as time permits


This is a gingerbread or kitchen style clock made by
The Ingraham Clock Co. of Bristol CT.
It is named "Micha" and is one of their Lake series of clocks.  
According to the date on the works... it was made in 1910 and has a factory installed alarm/timer

I believe the same model of clock is in the upper right of this photo...

In 1915 stores could buy a case of six of these clocks for $21.00




 Below is a mantle clock made by Seth Thomas, the model is "Imperial" dated on the bottom with a 9981G which translates to being produced in August of 1899


 Below is a Seth Thomas Mantle clock,  it was a mail order clock produced for the Larkin Soap Co. and could be had for free with the purchase of just 10 dollars of their products.   Someone has put rear feet on the front.  The stamp on the bottom indicates that it was made in 1907 

This model was featured in the 1910 catalog below as No. 35.  

Below is the same clock as with the horse topper



 Below is another Seth Thomas clock also made for the Larkin Soap Co.
Listed as No. 25 in the catalog below with the horse topper



Below is a OGEE style clock made by the New Haven Clock Co.   Most of these were 30 day weight driven clocks, but this one is a 8 day spring driven with the Alarm feature.   It must have been made some time during the transition from weight driven clocks to spring driven clocks.  I can find no evidence that the works were not original to the clock via there are no other screw holes in the backboard other than those holding the movment.   The back paper also is New Haven.

Here is an OG clock salesman that traveled the back roads.  Even had it printed on the side of his buggy.



Below is a Store Regulator made by the Sessions Clock Co.  It is a 8 day time only clock.  This is the Eclipse or "E" model.   It was made between 1903-28.  Someone has painted the boarder on the door with gold paint, scraped the decals from the lower glass and painted the center of the dial bright white.

Seven dollars back in 1922 and that included the calendar option which was 45 cents extra.
