<b>Ingraham Clocks & Watches by Tran Duy Ly</b><p> Ingraham Clocks & Watchesby Tran Duy LyWith a Special Section on Early Ingraham Clocksby Thomas J. SpittlerPublished 1998 byArlington Book Company, Inc. Hardcover book with 384 pages – 8 1/2 x 11 and 1269 quality illustrations and photographs.Smyth sewn hardbound on white gloss enamel text with 1999 Price Update . <b>Outstanding book that encompasses all of the improvements Tran Duy Ly has learned over his years of writing and publishing identification and price guides. No longer is he simply publishing identification guides - these separate, supplementary guides, updated frequently, will provide values for those interested in that - but books which will serve as reference books for years to come. </b><p><b>In this volume, Ly draws on noted horological historians and writers to enhance the text. Chris Bailey and Thomas Spittler contribute important historical sections. The book begins with a thirteen-page section of introductory material of important tips for collecting clocks and watches that will be of interest to those just beginning to collect. Chris Bailey's twenty-page history, "The Ingrahams and their Clockmaking Firms," follows. Bailey, an expert on Ingraham history, provides an excellent brief account which is supplemented with numerous photographs showing the factory at various times as well as the products of the company. A listing of references for further reading; a list of Elias Ingraham's patents, and a detailed chronology of the history of the company are included. Tom Spittler's forty-four page history of, "Early Ingraham Clocks," gives the history of pre1860 Ingraham products made by the various Ingraham firms. Actual photographs of rare, early clocks illustrate the text. </b><p><b>Of great importance is that not only are the clocks shown but their movements and labels are included as well. These two sections alone make the book an excellent value and the principal body of the text remains. Much of the remainder of the text consists of reproductions of Ingraham catalog illustrations, grouped by clock types, concluding with a section on Ingraham pocket and wristwatches. As with other Ly books, these catalog reproductions are supplemented by photographs of actual clocks and their movements. </b><p><b>Almost hidden in the middle of the book is a ten-page section that is worth the cost of the book to those collecting American black mantel clocks, as many newer NAWCC members do. This ten page section, written by Chris Bailey, begins with a brief history of Ingraham black mantel clocks, and lists all the black mantel clocks made by Ingraham in alphabetical order by model name. For each model, the year it was introduced is given as well as the last year it was offered, along with the original cost. Also included are additional comments indicating, for example, when different case decorations existed for one model. </b><p><b>A thirteen-page section on watches illustrates pocket and wristwatches made between 1915-1955. The detailed index that one has come to expect in a Ly book, and therefore takes for granted, concludes the volume. </b><p>
