Brewster and Ingrahams, Bristol, Conn. double steeple shelf clock, ca 1845.
This clock is almost all original with only minor defects. Both glasses appear original with the old putty and old strips. The door latch is missing as is most of the escutcheon. All four finials have some little problem, tip broken, chipped off top, small chip on the side, etc. Those are minor things considering the age of this clock. The old zinc dial was professionally repainted and the signature put back, "Brewster and Ingrahams Bristol, Ct.US". There are a couple of tics on the onion top; otherwise the mahogany veneer is near perfect. The best thing about the clock is the signed, ribbed, 8 day movement, with the large and original brass springs. The movement is signed, "Brewster and Ingrahams, Bristol, Ct.U.S.", and is running. The full label inside the case is a little dark but very acceptable. This good 4 column mahogany veneer case is 18.5 inches high.
