C.1875 E. Ingraham and Co., Bristol, Conn, "Venetian No. 2, V.P.", 8-day time and bell strike mantel clock.

22 October 2024
Condition: Refinished walnut case in very clean condition. Paper dial has been replaced with a Swigart copy. Hands and pendulum are original. The Ingraham catalog shows a line drawing of this model with an extension of the dial support ending in a decorative edge below the dial. This example does not have this, nor does it show any indication it ever had one (no glue line, so screw holes in bezel, no side supports). Probably a variant or later example (this model is just uncommon enough that we are unsure). Very nice label inside case. For other details on this model (which always had a clear glass) see Tran Ly's book on Ingraham [1998], page 267, fig 840. Runs + strikes. Superior label that Chris has not seen before. Ht 18" [45.7 cm]
