Jerome & Co. “Round-top”, ca. 1860.  A third style of Jerome shelf clocks, this one 14.5 inches tall in a rounded form with rosewood veneer and the trademark black edge trim.  A full glass door with a full gutta percha insert, this one with a gold-framed picture of a harbor fortification and a sail boat in a bay.  The gutta percha is without cracks and the gold edging is still bright.  The repainted dial sits in a wooden dial board; there is a large 8-day time-and-strike unsigned movement, striking on a wire gong.  There is a fancy New Haven pendulum bob, the usual label on the back of the door, and wall paper inside the case.  There is an old hook-clasp on the side of the door.  Another nice example in this Jerome series of shelf clocks.  $100-$200.
