I found this clock at a flea market. It was made by E. Ingraham Co. Bristol, Conn.
I'm guessing it is from the 30's. I like the unusual numerals.

The "restoration" story of this historic city clock is kinda funny...
From the Eagle Tribune - April 18, 2017:
HAVERHILL — Repairing the old downtown clock was as simple as plugging it back in.
The clock on the sidewalk in front of the parking deck on Merrimack Street that had stopped working at some point in the recent past is now keeping time again.
City officials say it was expected to cost thousands of dollars to repair — but that was before the city electrician found the clock was just unplugged, so to speak.
City Councilor Melinda Barrett, who has been involved in bringing the clock back to life, said the clock's electrical wiring was found to be disconnected in several locations.
"It was repaired, tested and is working fine, although it is a little fast," she said Tuesday morning. "A bulb is burned out, but that can be replaced."
A resident of the city has stepped forward with an offer to donate money for the clock's maintenance.
The clock had been stopped at a couple of minutes after 12.

A great deal of Meissen ware was exported to Paris, where merchants in luxury goods devised all kinds of new objects in which to incorporate the expensive porcelain. This clock is set in a gilt-bronze case to which a Meissen porcelain figure group has been added. The two figures are Columbine and Pantalone, characters from the commedia dell’arte, the Italian theatre tradition.
This clock, a gift from longtime USC benefactors Hank and Honorine Gordon, now stands at the northeast corner of Hahn Plaza.

King's reflected in the golden 'Chronophage'. Cambridge, UK
The new clock at Corpus Christi, Cambridge was designed by Dr John Taylor, an horologist and former student at Corpus. The face is plated with 24 carat gold and it is said to have cost a million pounds to make. It is partly a tribute to John Harrison, an 18th century English clockmaker who solved the problem of longitude. He also invented the 'grasshopper escapement' (part of a clock mechanism), hence the freaky grasshopper thing which moves with every second and 'eats' the time as it passes. 'Chronophage' means 'time-eater'. The clock was unveiled by Professor Stephen Hawking on 19th September 2008.
Here's a video explaining how it works.
