E. Ingraham “Venetian No. 2”, ca. 1875.  An 18-inch Venetian with bird’s eye maple veneer around the base; as there are no chips or wear, I fear it is a replacement.  The rest of the case is walnut.  Both glasses are original, held in with very old putty, but the image on the lower glass has been replaced, or at least rebacked in an unusual color.  The dial is replaced paper with some foxing, and the minute hand an improper replacement.  The signed 30-hour, time-and-strike movement is running and striking on cue.  An alarm, untested, is present, and a good label inside.  $50-$100.
