clock. You usually see 30-hour clocks that were made by Jerome while he was in Bristol but not many 8-day. This movement is one of the variations on the 30-hr tombstone movement, where he added an extra set of wheels to make it an 8-day. Here they have extended the plates and riveted a cross piece (similar to strap construction). The signed dial sadly has some new stretchers glued on and some extra screw holes used at various times to mount the dial. The frosted glass has some loss on the border. The veneer is in good condition with only a couple of chips on the corners. An uncommon clock. Height 29 inches
