E. Ingraham & Co., Bristol, Conn. early "Venetian" shelf clock with a spring driven, 8 day, time and strike Joseph Ives tin plate movement in a rosewood veneered case. This clock appears to be the same clock pictured on page 353 of Ken Roberts book entitled "The Contribution of Joseph Ives to Connecticut Clock Technology 1810-1862". The case retains a fair amount of original finish. The dial has been repainted. The hands are original. The upper door glass is original as is the lower glass with floral design. Overall, a nice and very scarce clock. The case bears an excellent Ingraham interior label with and overpasted label describing the brass bushed rolling pinions and the rolling escapement. It is believed that E. Ingraham and N. L. Brewster bought the remaining Ives tin plate movements when Ives died and cased and sold them. A good example of this very scarce clock.
