Description
This was one of Elias Ingraham's first shelf clocks. He made several experimental cases before settling on this style, then formed a company with his son in 1860, and began to produce this model. The gold is excellent considering it is 145 years old. The glasses are original however; the paint on the bottom glass has begun to flake. The 17 inches mahogany veneer case is very nice and surely a bump or bruise can be found if you examine closely. No problem with the original painted dial and the full label is still very visible. The 8 day movement strikes half hours on a coil gong and is running strong. Ly-Ingraham, page 257.
