Flat-top 30-hour cottage clock.
The Jerome Clock Company later became the New Haven Clock Company. Around 1830, they manufactured a line of inexpensive clocks that were often used by homeowners in bedrooms as an "alarm clock". This nice little example includes an alarm mechanism. It did not include a strike on the hours because it was used in the bedroom where that would have been distracting. The design on the lower door glass is quite attractive and in good condition. And, take a look at that super fancy pendulum "bob" inside the case (see photograph)!! A former owner added a wood panel to the back of the clock to provide extra strength to the case. Priced lower to the advantage of the next owner. Height: 9 in. (22.86 cm) Depth: 3 in. (7.62 cm) Width: 6 in. (15.24 cm) Weight: 1
