Antique American Clocks January 2021
18. $100
E. Ingraham “Ionic”, 1870-1924. This is an early example of this model, as judged
by the excellent label inside. This is the model that forced Welch to rename their version of this clock to “Alexis”. The case is 22 inches tall in rosewood veneer with grain-painted bezels; here the grain painting is lost. Both glasses are old
with a colored tablet not commonly seen. The dial is old paint, the hands correct. The 8-day time-only movement is signed
and running easily. Although Ionics are not uncommon, this is a rather nice early example. $100-$200.
