Jerome & Co. “Dneister” calendar clock, ca. 1886.  The cool thing about this clock is that it came as both a shelf and wall clock, with the base attached behind the crest.  To mount it on a wall you removed the base from behind the crest and hooked it onto the bottom of the clock.  Voila!  Two – two – two clocks in one! The 33-inch walnut case has a very old finish with plenty of room for a thorough cleaning.  The center ornament on the top has lost some edges, and the wall-base has lost three buttons on the bottom piece of trim.  I can’t exclude the possibility that one or all of the dial mounting boards has been replaced, and there appear to be newer support pieces inside.  The door glass is likely original.  I assume the paper dials are relatively recent replacements, but they match the original dial papers perfectly, and are signed “Jerome & Co.” with the logo.  All the hands appear to be original.    The 8-day unsigned time-and-strike movement is running fine and the calendars are advancing.  There is provenance information provided with this clock (see photo). This clock is shown on page 199 of Ly’s book Calendar Clocks.  This is an uncommon clock that Horton’s has not sold in recent times; Schmitt-Horan sold one in 2018 for $1100.
