These clocks are amazing. I find these videos soothing, almost therapeutic. Your passion for these old works of art is evident. I thoroughly enjoy these videos and look forward to seeing more of your clocks in the future! Thank you for sharing these beautiful machines
I heard these clocks were almost forgotten in the past, mostly because people thought they were ugly, but they are recently now starting to become popular again
Oh, there are plenty of ugly ones out there. Around the turn of the 20th century there were hundreds of different models of these "Kitchen clocks." They were very cheap to produce. Some models, like this one just have a nice look to it. Make sure you like the look before you buy a clock. You are going to be looking at it a lot.
Nice history lesson on the Ingraham clock. I see there is one almost identical, except for minor changes in wood styling, currently up for auction near me. I have a couple of other Ingrahams, but none E. Ingraham & Co. I'll certainly be bidding on it due to your piece here. Thanks for this.
It's okay with me. Ask Amy, she's the boss. Thanks for watching. I know they're tough to get through, boring, shaky, rambling, etc. I am trying, little by little I hope they improve. I really want to thank you for your support. I have only 450 more hours of watch-time to go in order to get monetized. Fixing clocks for free doesn't pay very well, so I am hoping to make a little money from RU-vid to fund my passion. If I charged people what a clock repair shop would charge 99% of the clocks I save would go unrepaired. I can't let that happen to these sentimental treasures!
hi! i just inherited a clock very close to the clock in your video. can you recommend a good source to read up on this beauty? i'd be looking for technical info, troubleshooting. it seems to be in good working order, it's very clean, and swings for about 30 seconds, then just loses momentum. i've tried adjusting to one side, or the other , and played with raising and lowering the "thing" whatever it's called : ) thank you in advance for any info and thanks for your channel!
I saw the picture of this clock and had to go get the clock I have . It resembles this one. The glass front has wheat done in gold color. The face says sessions. I am going to look this up to get more info. It belong to my husband. Not sure if it was his families. They bought antiques so they could have found it at a sale. The key is gone for winding. I'm thinking eBay. Thank you so much for this video. I was excited to watch it. Oh, it does have carving around the base as well.
Yes they all chime. She says, "After the first 10 clocks chime, I know what time it is, and don't need to hear the rest." I have several Westminster Chimes that take about 30 seconds to complete their cycle....She hates those. They often cause her to have to pause her recordings and wait for them to finish. I get these strange stares from her, and sometimes these funny comments like...."I am going to throw that clock out on the front lawn." Of course, I know she is only kidding.
I just recently purchased an E Ingraham & CO clock that has some similar features that yours has, but there is no stamp in the bottom. I can’t take the back of but I could see with a light behind the face with PATP OCT.8.78 NOV 11. 79. It is stamped on a brass bracket along with E Ingram Co above and Bristol Conn below. Would that be a Nov 1879 clock then based on an 1878 Patent? I can share pics as well.
You wind the clock with a key. Most clocks have holes in the face for the key. If it is fully wound but doesn't want to run or stay running, 90% of the time the movement needs to be cleaned and oiled.
