Chauncey Jerome fusee steeple, 1845-1855.  A beautiful 20-inch steeple in walnut with great veneer on the front.   Both glasses are period/original with the tablet in very good shape.  The painted dial has been touched up, the hands period but the minute hand likely a replacement.  The 30-hour time-and-strike double-fusee movement is signed and running, striking on a wire gong.  There is a dark green label inside with some losses.   Jerome fusee steeples typically sell for $200-$300.
