Antique 1800s E.INGRAHAM Co. Bristol,Conn.Mantle Clock LOOKS GOOD Estate Find

Welcome Bidders.. Here is an E.Ingraham Co of Bristol,Conn. Clock that I found at an Estate.High Bidder gets It!! I have not dusted it or tried to clean the Finish as I'll leave that to the experts. But I believe it will shine nicely as the dark finish looks uniform to me and all the delicate scrolls around the clock face look intact,I think..There were no keys with it when I got it but the inside looks very clean and the Hands move correctly.I couldn't open the rear door completely(hinge needs oil) but maybe there is a key taped inside somewhere? I do know there is a brass color Pendulum inside with an "S" on it. When I moved the minute hand past the 12, it GONGS on the hour.12 times at 12 O'Clock and 11 GONGS at 11 O'Clock..etc....And on the 1/2 hour the BELL Dings one time. I think it completely works once you can get the Key to wind it because after 12 Gongs, I could hear it still ticking for awhile..I also think it may be an 8 Day clock because I read in the Internet that Ingram made them..Both key holes are the same size and I even think a small socket ratchet would wind it pretty easily. The outside wooden box is Solid and it's a very cool Clock. I took pictures from the back and the open bottom to show all angles.The back door hinges needs some Oil to open fully bur it does latch when you foll with the little latch directly opposite the hinge..The Front Glass is Perfect and snaps shut.The face of the clock near the "12" is a little worn and above the "11" the Brass has some light greening that should clean up with a Q-Tip and a little brass cleaner.But the rest of the face and Gold are in good condition. For 120 year old Clock,it is in pretty good shape..The bottom was made open that way so that the pendulum could swing freely and not hit the bottom,I believe.I don't see and rust on the springs and the mechanics look in nice condition The Bell inside and everything appears to work mechanically just as it was designed. It measures 10 1/2" wide and 5 1/2" deep at the base. It is also 10 1/4"tall and is 9 3/4" across the top and the top is 5 1/2" deep.If you go to http://www.clockguy.com/SiteRelated/SiteReferencePages/IngrahamHistory.html you can read mire about this company.Good Luck..I will pack the inside with newspaper to protect the parts from moving and will double box this Clock. Shipping in the lower 48 will be $20.00. All others,Please ask.Non US Shipping will be expensive and I do not know if Insurance will be available for an Antique Clock but I will pack it well. Sold As Is,As Found,As,Seen.Final Sale.Thanks for your interest.
