An alarm clock question "Click" to Login or Register 
posted
Hi, I'm a pocket watch guy who occasionally tries my hand at clocks. The enclosed pic is a clock that I rescued from a garbage heap a couple of weeks ago. It is an Ingraham "Right-Vu" model. It was covered with dirt and grime, not running and missing both winding cranks and setting knobs. I took it apart, oiled the pivots of the pin lever movement, and it took right off. I found in my stock of parts the winding and setting parts. The clock is keeping perfect time. The case is made of a white metal with enamel paint. The dial is paper and the crystal is glass.

My question is--What timeframe is this clock. I am thinking post WW-2, but could it be as early as the 1930's.

Tom

PS When it is ticking, it can be heard all over the house.

Tom,
Very neat clock. I like the streamline design.

Tran's book on Ingraham clocks shows this as a 1940 model. It also came in black with gold trim and gold with brown trim. Yours I believe would be the ivory with gold trim.

Hi Tom, Thanks for your information. I have my spare bedroom set up as my antique room. The clock will have a place in that room.
