J.C. Brown “Jeweled Marine” lever octagon clock, ca. 1855. A 9.25-inch octagon case with rosewood veneer, and an old finish. The clock is 3 inches deep. The dial glass is old, the dial has been repainted more than once, with touch-up and hand-lettering. The hands are proper. The 30-hour jeweled lever movement is unsigned but was probably made by Elisha Manross; it is running, with a seconds hand, time-only, but stops easily. The label on the back is in rough shape, but the essential information is there. I cannot find any sales on LiveAuctioneers or Antique Clocks Identification and Price Guide for a JC Brown jeweled lever, although it is discussed by Ken Roberts and Snowden Taylor inJonathan Clark Brown and the Forestville Manufacturing Company on pages 62-65. $100-$300.
