“Brewster & Ingrahams, / Bristol, Conn.”, ca 1843-1852. Sharp Gothic (steeple) clock, it was a specialty of Elias Ingraham and was widely copied by other clock makers. This mahogany veneered case is 20” tall, has nice points on the cones, door latch and two good glasses. The painted glass is a little suspect, but looks nice in the case.  It has a very good painted dial that is signed, “Brewster & Ingrahams / Bristol, Ct. U.S.”. There is a pair of old hands, pendulum bob and key, excellent label, and a good 8-day brass movement that is also properly signed. It is running and striking the coil gong each hour. 150-$300.

 “Brewster & Ingrahams, / Bristol, Conn.”, full sized sharp gothic or steeple clock, ca 1850. The dial is very good for its age and is signed. The top glass is original, the bottom glass is replaced. The mahogany veneer overall is nice. It does have a small nick or two but no big veneer problems. It has the original finish, a little dark and has not been overly cleaned. This clock has an ivory escutcheon, door lock and key. The screws fell out of the lock in transport to me. This will be a small job for the next owner. It has a complete label, old pendulum bob, old key, and coil gong. Very heavy clock, those oversized brass springs add a lot of weight. $200-$300.

“Seth Thomas Clock Co., Thomaston, Conn.”, one of the earliest City Series clocks, “St. Louis”, ca 1874. I am sure a lot of collectors could care less about the City Series clocks but to me they were some of the finest mantel clocks made in that era of mantel clock making. This case is 15.5” high and has 3 or 4 different veneers or shades of veneers on the case. None of the veneering was easy, for it has convex and concave rolls, and skewed and flat veneer. Other than a hauling bump the veneer is very good. The bottom glass is original, the dial is original, clean, and has a small chip at 12. There is an excellent paper label, coil gong, and old pendulum and key. The eight-day movement is running and strikes the coil gong on the hours and the alarm movement strikes on an iron bell.
