Atomic headlight alert! The case of this clock is an atomic or space-age looking truncated oval cone, standing on splayed base supports. The convex plastic lens flares to form its own clear standout frame on the front of the clock, negating the need for a bezel. The case was designed by Carl Otto, one of the great midcentury industrial designers. He worked with both Norman Bel Geddes and Raymond Loewy. He then had his own firm, which closed in 1954, This clock was probably designed around that time and was produced in the mid 1950s. Ingraham was sold to McGraw Edison in 1967 and the label was no longer used. This clock has the bright brass Ingraham badge on the back.
The white plastic case is glossy and clean. There is a thin crack on the back where the movement is attached to the case. The clear lens/bezel is clean and shiny with no chips, cracks or scratches and only one very tiny scuff. The printed metal dial with gold dot hour markers is flawless. The mod black hands and red sweep second hand are in good condition.
The brass and steel movement, powered by a Model 17 motor, is in excellent clean condition and has been appropriately lubricated. It keeps time quietly with smooth operation of the sweep second hand. The buzzer type alarm is functioning correctly. The vintage white cord is clean, intact, and supple.
This clock is approximately 4-1/2" wide by 3-3/4" tall.
