C.1845, Brewster and Ingrahams, Bristol, CT, 8-day brass spring "Sharp Gothic" or steeple clock,

in very good original condition. Although the label of this clock has an overpaste of "William Beals" Connecticut Clock Manufacturers' Depot / At The / Sign of the Great Dial / Corner of Hanover and Blackstone Streets, Boston," it is over the lower portion of a Brewster and Ingrahams label. The movement is marked "Brewster and Ingrahams / Bristol, CT / U.S" The heavy brass plates are not ribbed, but the movement will advance strike by pulling hammer to left. The strike gong has a fancy pressed brass cover. The zinc dial has its original paint, though covered by a coat of old shellac which has yellowed. The minute hand has been repaired. The dial has "William Beals / Boston." stenciled in the above XII. The mahogany veneered case is in good condition with some veneer chips (most notably one on the door and one on the left hand curved front piece). The door escutcheon is missing. The door has a very nice original acid etched and cut tablet. Height 20 inches.
