A beautiful antique mantel clock made by the E. Ingraham Clock Company in Bristol, Connecticut, around 1885. This is the rare "Pansy" model. Most clocks from this time were made of cheap oak wood, but this premium model is made of heavy, beautiful solid black walnut wood.

The clock is in excellent cosmetic shape, runs great, and keeps good time. We do not have paper documents, but the clock shows every sign of being fully restored:
- The Wood Case: The walnut wood is clean, shiny, and smooth. The carved details are sharp and free of dust.
- The Movement: The brass gears inside are bright and clean. They are free of the dark, sticky old grease found in broken clocks.
- The Front Glass: The original black-and-gold floral pattern painted on the glass door is perfect, with no scratches or peeling paint.
HOW THE CLOCK WORKS:

This clock has three features, and all of them work perfectly:
- TIME: It has an 8-day mechanical movement. This means you only need to wind it with the key once a week. It includes the original brass pendulum bob. You can turn the little screw at the bottom of the pendulum to make the clock go faster or slower.
- CHIME: The clock counts out the hours on a deep-sounding wire coil (for example, it strikes 4 times at 4 o'clock). It also strikes once at every half-hour.
- ALARM: The built-in alarm works perfectly! You set it by turning the small brass ring in the middle of the clock face. When it reaches the alarm time, a small hammer rings a loud brass bell on the bottom floor of the clock.
