234.              $150

Birge & Fuller/Ingraham double steeple, 1844-1848.  The case is wonderful, with a thick patina and three original glasses, including two well-preserved Fenn tablets (the middle tablet may be an old repaint).  The metal dial has been repainted, the hands are period/correct.  Unfortunately, the movement is an E. Ingrahams Co. 8-day, time-and-strike spring-driven movement.  Based on the label, it should be an accelerating lever-spring (wagon spring)-driven movement.  The movement is running and striking on the wire gong, which may be original. If you can’t afford a wagon-spring double steeple (~$1000) but love the look, this clock just might be the ticket!  $150–$500.
