Jerome Manufacturing Company, "Cottage", mantle clock, ca 1850. We believe this rare little clock to be 100 percent original. One like it is in the American Clock and Watch Museum and is pictured on page 88 of the NAWCC Bulletin Supplement No. 15, "From Rags To Riches To Rags, The Story of Chauncey Jerome". The 30 hour time only movement is not signed. It has the correct dial, hands, and old brass bob. The most special thing about this clock are the notes on the reverse painted glass and the black painted wood case with hand painted decorations. Painted on the bottom of the glass are the words, "From / C. Jerome / New Haven / Conn". The decorations on the case are hand painted flowers.
