Brewster & Ingrahams 30-hour steeple, 1843-1852. A 19-inch steeple with dark mahogany veneer and a dark patina.  This appears to be an all-original example:  both glasses, including a well-preserved tablet; a metal dial with the original paint and signature, probably varnish causing the yellowing; original hands, a signed 30-hour time-and-strike movement that is running and striking on a wire gong, and a dark but readable label. $50–$150.
