Description
E. Ingraham Co. “Crown Drop”, ca. 1890. The partial label on the back indicates that this clock was made by the E. Ingraham Co. for W.P. Edwards, possibly a jeweler/retailer or a company that distributed the clocks to customers or salesmen. The 28-inch refinished black walnut case resembles other Ingraham cases and the movement is stamped E Ingraham Co. The stenciled glass is modern and the paper dial an older replacement; the hands are period/correct. The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is running and striking on a cathedral gong. There is an alarm hooked up that winds separately and was not tested. The pendulum is Ingraham issue. A pretty example of this style of kitchen wall clocks; note the level tube at the bottom and thermometer at the top, both working. $100–$200.
