Antique American Clocks
Brewster & Ingrahams "round gothic", 1843-1852.
Contemporary with Terry & Andrews and
also in Bristol, CT, and with similar productivity.
A 19-inch rosewood-veneered case in very nice condition.
is period cut or polished glass, the dial glass a modern replacement.
The painted metal dial is very old, the hands period.
The signed, 8-day time-and-strike movement has brass springs, as it was originally made.
It is running unreliably and will need
a bit of attention to get it up to speed; it strikes on a wire gong.
The thick brass springs make the clock surprisingly heavy.
A good green label inside, with an old pendulum bob and key; the door key serves as a handle and there is an ivory escutcheon.
