Catalog Description:

C.1850, Chauncey Jerome Botsford Patent 30-hour lever timepiece. This brass front timepiece is in good condition, now on a late Victorian base with round dome. The original paper dial is in good condition. In this example the gold wash on the brass faandccedil;ade has been polished off and the brass has turned brown. Still the movement is complete and sound and running strongly. Botsford's design was unique, using a mono-metallic (brass) balance oscillating in a horizontal plane, and the lever impulsed by a escape wheel rotating in a vertical plane. The layout is rugged and these are always strong runners. See also lot No.78. Height 11"
