E. Ingraham & Co. “Corrugated Gallery”, 1870-1882. A 20-inch dial on a 26-inch chestnut case. This model came in multiple sizes, with the largest having a 24-inch dial; the case
came in walnut, chestnut, and gilt. The glass is old and wavy, but it’s hard to imagine it is original. The metal dial
has been repainted; the backside holds the original touched-up dial. The hands are original. The 8-day, time-only, spring-driven
movement is signed and running, and distinguished by the inverted crutch to allow a longer pendulum drop. The pendulum stick
was replaced in 1936, as noted in pencil on the stick and on one of several service notices written on the crossbars; the earliest
one I see is from 1871 and shown below. There is most of a label inside; the backside was covered with paper at one time. See Ly, Ingraham Clocks & Watches, page 133-135 for additional information. This clock sold last fall at Schmidt’s Antiques
for $800. $800-$1200.
