Jerome & Co. “drum head”, ca. 1860.  The last of the four Jeromes listed here, clearly of the same period but in a very different style.  Thirteen inches tall and 12.25 inches wide, in a walnut veneer with black/ebonized trim around the dial but no gutta percha L.  The dial has been papered and antiqued; the old glass is held in place by a twisted copper rope, also seen on other examples.  The 8-day time-and-strike movement is unsigned, running and striking on a wire gong. The label is on the back, a bit beat up, but the important stuff is there.  The case could stand a good cleaning.  Several sales listed in the Antique Clocks Price Guide, but nothing recent.  $100-$200.
