E. Ingraham Co. “Dewey”, ca. 1899.  One of several clocks commemorating the Spanish-American War; Commodore George Dewey was a hero for destroying the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay, Philippines.  The pressed oak case is 23 inches tall and has an old, dark, and slightly crusty finish.  The glass is original with good retention of the stencil of his ship, the Olympia.  The paper dial is evenly toned, the hands correct, and the signed 8-day, time-and-strike movement is running and striking, although the strike is feeble.  A proper Ingraham patriotic pendulum and a good label on the back.  AAC has sold three of this model in the last several years for from $200 to $254 a year ago.  $175–$250.
