Ingraham Company was one of the premier American clock and watch manufacturers during the 19th and 20th centuries. Elias Ingraham (1805–1885) opened his own shop in Bristol in 1831 as a cabinetmaker and designer of clock cases. Edward Ingraham I, the only child of Elias and his wife Julia Hale Sparks, succeeded his father as president of the E. Ingraham Company from 1885 to 1892. He was a pioneer in the American clock industry and conceived the idea of the black enameled wood cases which for years were the standard finish for high grade mantle clocks. When Edward died in 1892, his three sons assumed management of the firm. In 1913 the company began producing wrist watches, followed by eight day alarm clocks in 1915. Following Walter's retirement in 1927, management continued with William's sons Edward Ingraham II (president from 1927-1954) and Dudley Ingraham (president from 1954-1956). During World War II, the company temporarily ceased manufacturing clocks and began producing mechanical time-fuse parts and anti-aircraft artillery for the U.S. military. The company was controlled by members of the Ingraham family until 1956. The company was defunct by 1967." CONDITION Good Antique Condition, working.
