Antique American Clocks January 2020
10. $100
Jerome (?) miniature papier-mâché wall clock, ca. 1850’s. This little guy is only
11.25 inches long with a brass 30-hour time-and-strike unsigned movement, striking on an iron bell. The only label is one from
a clock repairer in Newcastle on Tyne, indicating that it was likely made for the English market. The glass and bezel are old
but polished, the dial repainted, the hands old. The polychrome, gilding, and MOP is dark but mostly all there, and it has a
glossy protective coat. The pendulum-driven movement is running erratically, the pendulum bob is new, it hangs from underneath. I don’t believe I’ve seen one of these before, and I can’t find any other examples. $100-$150.

Are there too many clocks in your house to buy more? We can help! Trade
in and trade up! Identify up to two clocks you already own that you would be willing to trade in to get that new “apple of your
eye”. Then send a picture to AnAmClocks@gmail.com and I’ll get back to you with a consignment or purchase price. If you
are within my delivery range and are the lucky winner of that clock you like, I’ll deliver it for free and pick up the trade-in(s),
no charge. Not only do you get free delivery, but if you are selling your trade-in(s) to me you get cash as well (note that
I buy at 70% of retail).
Here are the rules:
1. The trade-in(s) must be of equal or greater retail value than the new purchase, and no
more than two clocks can be exchanged per new purchase.
2. Not all trades can be accommodated, and delivery not available to
more distant locations. Contact Todd for details.
Clock collecting can be a zero-sum game – and we can help!
