C.1850, Chauncey Jerome, New Haven, Conn., 30-hour time/strike shelf clock, in fair, as-found condition. The walnut veneered case has been refinished; door with dry split. The signed movement is mounted on a seatboard which is typical of these early Jerome cottage type clocks. The original painted dial is dirty and has chipped areas and paint loss. The hands are not original. There is a nice label on the back. There is small piece of the molded edge on the top left side that is missing. The verge to the movement is missing, but a modern replacement comes with the clock and needs to be adapted. Lots of potential for the person who likes early Jeromes. Height 13.5 inches
