Jeromes & Darrow pillar & scroll, 1828-1833.  Chauncey made the cases, Noble the wooden movements, and Elijah Darrow painted the tablets.  Not known for pillar & scrolls, so this is uncommon. The 28.5-inch case has a repair to the right scroll tip and a repainted lower glass, which was replaced long ago.  The dial glass is original.  There is an ivory escutcheon and key, two tin pully covers, two old weights, an old wooden dial and hands. Most of the label inside is lost, but enough is there to establish the makers.  It needs an adjustment to the escape anchor to run, 30-hour, time-and-strike on an iron bell.  I did not inspect the movement gears, but it will strike.  The brass urn finials are heavy with wood posts.   $350-$600.
