around the outside of the dial.
The ring has etched designs of
leaves and vines. The inner dial is

Walnut case is 21.5" high, in origi-

is a fine parlor clock that was
made by the E. Ingraham Co. for
Adams about 1890. Adams was a
clock dealer and did not make his
own clocks. This case is much
thicker
made with good strong wood
pieces, i.e. the etched top, grooved
side columns with ornate capitals
and bases, grooves on the base
and top, and the door. The case is
apparently missing ornaments on
each side. Eight day movement is
signed Ingrahams, it is running
briskly, and strikes half hours on a nice Cathedral gong, and alarms on a
brass bell. The pendulum, dial ring, gong base, and bell, are all brass.
$100-$200.
