I don't have much information on this other than the note that my mom left on the back of it prior to her passing in 2012. She found it in her Grandpa's house and took it to have it cleaned and glass repaired in the 1970's. She figured it was about 125-150 years old around the time she wrote the note in 2004. It kept perfect time then and still works now and this little thing is so loud you can hear it throughout my two story house. It's quite impressive!
It's a model called the "Topaz" made of Oak from circa 1896. Do a web search on "Ingraham Topaz" and you'll find more examples. Hope that solves your mystery, if so please indicate "Mystery Solved" in your listing. Thank you.
Bruce99, thanks for the info. Very helpful!
You're very welcome Jchill77. You have a very nice, well cared for example there. Your family obviously took good care of it. Thanks for sharing.
