Chauncey Jerome miniature 30-hour column & cornice, 1844-1850. A rough 18-inch mahogany case with considerable wear. The half-columns are chipped, the capitals and plinths repainted. Both glasses are likely original, with a nice frosted and cut-glass tablet. The original contoured dial is faded with chipping around the winding ports; the hands are period and appropriate. The 30-hour time-and-strike movement is unsigned; it will run for less than a minute and the strike is hung up. A wire gong and a good label inside. A restoration project with some potential. $10–$50. Mike Bailey, my authority on all things Jerome, says the movement in this clock is by the New Haven Clock Co. and dates from the early 1850's. Thanks Mike!
