Antique American Clocks July 2020
250. $50
Jerome & Co. beehive, 1857-1904. Clocks with this label were made by the New Haven Clock Co. after
it acquired Jerome Manufacturing Co. in 1857. This beehive stands 19.5 inches tall with an old and crusty finish, with some
wear marks and such. The dial glass is newer, the tablet old and retains good color on the flowers. It has likely been
rebacked, and there are a few chips. The metal dial shows paint loss, the hands are mismatched. The unsigned (but clearly
Jerome) 8-day, time-and-strike movement is running strongly and striking the wire gong on the hours. A good but dark label inside. $50-$150.
