Antique American Clocks January 2021
204. $150
Brewster & Ingrahams iron front, 1843-1852. This 17-inch clock is unusual in that it looks like
the front is paper mâché, particularly with the flat edge on all the sides. The polychrome decorations and image have lost some
detail and color, but the center image appears to be of a lake-front or harbor town with a passenger steam train on the left. The dial glass is replaced, the dial new paper, the hands also replacements. The 30-hour ribbed B&I movement is signed,
running strongly, and striking, but there is no pendulum bob. Both springs are brass; there is no label, or evidence of a label. $150-$250.
