E. Ingraham “Domino”, ca. 1886.  A 16-inch black lacquer wood case with an architectural design.  This has always been a popular clock.  The finish has the expected chips along the edges and corners and could use a coat of wax to shine; note the incised designs on the sides, lined in gold.  The door glass is original, the paper dial old and yellow, the hands old but not as shown in the catalog drawing.  The signed 8-day time-and-strike movement is running with some coaxing, striking the hours and half-hours on a cathedral gong.  A partial label on the back.  Shown on page 212 of Ly’s book on Ingraham clocks.  $100-$200.
