Antique American Clocks
Jerome & Co. "drum head", ca. 1860.
The last of the four Jeromes listed here, clearly of the
same period but in a very different style.
Thirteen inches tall and 12.25 inches wide, in a walnut veneer with black/ebonized
trim around the dial but no gutta percha
The dial has been papered and antiqued; the old glass is held in place by a twisted
copper rope, also seen on other examples.
The 8-day time-and-strike movement is unsigned, running and striking on a wire gong.
The label is on the back, a bit beat up, but the important stuff is there.
The case could stand a good cleaning.
sales listed in the Antique Clocks Price Guide, but nothing recent.
