with a C.1890, Jerome and Co (New Haven) fusee movement (same size, but a later and lighter version). The veneer on the front of the case is excellent. The sides of the drop area of the case have some minor veneer loss. The gong has been replaced with a bell, but the gong base is there. The dial pan and dial are from another old 11Ó dial clock, the holes re-drilled. The hands are also replacements. Actually this dial could be painted in the proper style, and a better set of hands would make it look acceptable. Generally an $1800 clock when original. Height 24.5Ó $750-$850
