Yes, no doubt mine is a E. Ingraham manufactured mantel clock. There are
several examples that are practically identical to mine. Close, but no
cigar, as they say. You could take a few of the closest examples and
combine the right pieces to make mine, with the exception of the top of the
clock. Mine has a faux stone top that I did not see in any of the others.
Thanks for finding this and sending it along,
Steve

I think yours may be made by E. Ingraham. Check these out these photos:

Above mantel is probability the oldest, and most difficult clock to date,
but most likely was made in the 1850s to 1880s. There is no brand or
serial number on the clockworks, but there is a label on the back of the
clock identifying the clock as a "Belmont". This clock was mass produced
and inexpensive. Tons of these were made and sold as "house" brands for
large department stores. The clock is still running today and keeps
reasonably good time. I just have to adjust it a minute or two when I wind
it each week. Story is this clock was a wedding present to the parents of my
grandmother's oldest sister's husband
