Antique American Clocks
Chauncey Jerome lever box clock,
An interesting style that may have been made for export
to England; there is only one sale of this model that I can find, at RO Schmitt's two decades ago for $975.
The 11-inch walnut
case has veneer on all four sides with a handle on top; there is ripple molding around the base and a push-button for the bezel.
The painted dial and hands are original (as is the handle on top).
The signed (Chauncey Jerome, New Haven), 8-day time-only
movement will not run; the lever spring is good.
A little attention should fix it.
Shreds of a label on the bottom.
An unusual model.
