Chauncey & Noble Jerome round-side shelf clock, 1838-1839.  A second example with some differences:  The mahogany finish is darker; the upper door glass is original but has been rebacked; the lower glass is original and retains the original reverse painting, but has been touched up, most noticeably on the house.  The dial has the original zinc finish the Jeromes used on these clocks.  There is a brass escutcheon and key.  The brass 30-hour, early I-beam movement is unsigned, with square weights, and is running and striking.  The interior retains the blue paper and card label. A second nice example of these early weight-driven brass clocks; there are two more later in the auction.  This clock sold at Cottone’s in 2014 for $200.  $200-$400.
