203.    $50

Ingraham shelf clock, ca. 1890.  A 24-inch case carved in black walnut with an old, dark, and crusty-in-places finish.  The door glass is old with a good stencil, there is a level bubble at the bottom and a newer thermometer at the top. Both are functioning.  The paper dial is in bad shape and ready for replacement.  The 8-day movement is signed, running and striking with a typical Ingraham pendulum.  The alarm is hooked up but not tested.  Cannot find this one in Ly’s book on Ingraham clocks and there is no label left on the back.  $50-$125.
