Welcome Flip Clock Fans
We're looking at two all-American flip clocks in the Flip Clock Fans collection, the Ingraham Model 59-007, and 59-042, the difference being that the double 0-7 has a sleep function.
I call them all-American because, well, they made in the United States and they have the name of three great Americans wrapped up in them.
Max McGraw was an American entrepreneur who lived from 1883 to 1964.
At the young age of 17, Max McGraw started the McGraw Electric Co. in Sioux City, Iowa.
From this modest beginning, McGraw established two of this country’s largest and most successful corporations at the time, McGraw-Edison Company and Centel Corporation.
Centel Corporation was a telecommunications company eventually acquired by Sprint.
The McGraw-Edison Company was formed in 1957 through a merger of McGraw Electric and Thomas A. Edison, Inc, when that company was still being run by Thomas Edison's son, Charles Edison.
Most people have heard of Thomas Edison.
The Ingraham Company was purchased by McGraw-Edison Company in November 1967.
Elias Ingraham was best known as one of the early great American clock makers.
While I love this clock for its history, it's frankly not the best of flip clocks.
But you've got to appreciate a flip clock with history.
Thanks for taking the time.
