There is a paper label inside on the bottom showing the clock was made for Charles Adams of Erie, Pa., who appears to be the retailer as the clock works maker was the Ingraham Clock Co.. Clock has a fancy pendulum. Clock is approx. 23-1/2" in height and 14-1/2" in width. This clock has an eight day movement that is in good running order and kept time near perfectly over a five day test period. It chimes on the hour.
