Has anybody seen an E. INGRAHAM clock without the G? INRAHAM?
The clock in question is from my wife's grandfather. It has been in Alabama for all of its life as far as we know. It caught my eye the first time I saw it, because it is almost identical to one I grew up with, from my father's grandfather. My fathers clock has been in New Hampshire all its life, as far we we know. I was amazed to see the two side by side, the cases are identical in outline and carving. The finishes are obviously different, as are the faces, but they are still very similar. My wife's family gave the clock to me, and when I was sending them pictures to show how similar they were, I noticed that my clock was made by the E. INRAHAM CO., without the G... I have now confirmed that my father's clock does not share the typo.
Has anybody else seen this???
