Ephraim Downs

Ephraim Downs (1787–1860) was an early America wooden movement clockmaker.

In business from 1810 through 1842, he worked with Eli Terry, Silas Hoadley, and Seth Thomas in the early Connecticut clock trade.

During the 1830s, Ephraim supplied nearly seven thousand wood-movement clocks to the wholesale trade.

Downs sold some brass movement clocks but it is not believed that he manufactured any of this type.

After 1842, he did not participate to any great extent in clock-manufacturing, though he did continue to produce and sell a few wood movements.
