Antique
Ingraham Oak Gingerbread Parlor Clock, 8 day, half hour strike, made
about 1890, in excellent working condition, named Puck. Solid oak
cabinet has no damage or repairs, and is in excellent condition, with
a nicely aged finish. It features ornate incised designs and applied
decorations. This clock also has an unusual 'portrait' pendulum,
featuring a Victorian lady (note the picture is a reproduction
replacement, the original was badly damaged). Glass is original with
a couple of small worn spots. Solid brass original dial pan polished
and finished. Paper time track (numbers) is a replacement. Clock
movement has just been overhauled (movement was completely
dismantled, worn bushings, new hammer leather, click springs, spring
wire, springs, and any other repairs done as needed). Clock
movement has been serviced (serviced means cleaned, lubricated, and
balanced), using only synthetic lubricants. Synthetic lubricants are
superior to standard petrochemical 'oils'. They have better
lubricating qualities, are longer lasting and do not discolor, smell
or become gummy with age, requiring less frequent maintenance.
Clock runs well and strikes on the hour and half hour on a cathedral
gong (note the strike train is a little noisy). Key is an antique replacement. Dimensions:
24 inches high, 16 inches wide, 5 inches deep. Clock may require minor adjustment after
shipping. Clock is balanced for a level surface and should be placed on a
level surface to run correctly. The clock will come with a set of
instructions that will tell you how to set up and maintain it. I am also available anytime after the sale
for any questions that arise. Shipping All clocks are shipped with insurance and
signature upon delivery confirmation. Any damage caused by shipping service abusive handling will be resolved by the buyer filing an insurance claim with the shipping
service. NOTE: IF YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS IS A P.O. BOX YOU MUST SELECT USPS PRIORITY MAIL AS UPS (STANDARD SHIPPING) WILL NOT SHIP TO P.O. BOXES. No international sales, shipping to US only. Returns Because of
Pricetronic's changes to return policy I am not using their return system. I will accept returns on a case by case
basis, only if the clock is not as described. I will not accept returns for any other reason, (such as buyer's
remorse). Please read the description
