Antique American Clocks January 2020
331. $90
E. Ingraham shelf clock, ca. 1886. This black enamel shelf clock stands 16 inches high and is
most similar to the “Domino” model, but with two, rather than four finials on top, a black dial board, full-length door, and gilded
incisings on the stepped-out base. The original finish is quite nice, the gold still evident, and a nice gold trim on the bottom
of the carved dial board. Note the mahogany-colored side ornamentation. There is a new signed paper dial and proper hands;
the glass in the door is a newer replacement. The 8-day time-and-strike movement is signed, running, and striking on a cathedral
gong, and there is a bright nickel pendulum with gold grape leaves above; an alarm is also present. The lngraham label on the
back appears to be a recent replacement. An Ingraham key is included. A very attractive shelf model in black. $100-$150.
