Brewster & Ingrahams 8-day sharp gothic
(steeple), 1843-1852. A 20-inch case with good walnut and rosewood veneer and two original glasses. The tablet
is a well-preserved transfer depicting the ruins of Netley Abbey near Southhampton, England; the lithograph was first published in
1833. The dial holds the original paint with little wear. The hands are likely original. The 8-day, time-and-strike
movement is signed Brewster & Ingrahams, Bristol CT; it is running and striking on a wire gong. A readable label inside,
with a repair label from a shop in England. A nice example. $50–$100.
