Wm. L. Gilbert & Co., Winsted, Conn., 8 day, time and strike weight brass movement shelf clock, c1858. This case was designed by Chauncey Jerome as noted in the label pasted inside the door that reads: "Patented April 14, 1857, by Chauncey Jerome", Rosewood veneered case in an old finish with some minor damage on the base. The caps on the two top chimneys maybe missing. Original painted dial with some loss at the mounting screws, a little at the winding arbors and a spot near 1 o'clock. Both glasses are original. Hands are original. Nice label inside the case. Shortly after this clock was produced the name of the firm changed to William L. Gilbert Clock Co. Ht 31"
