245.    $75

Chauncey Jerome octagon lever strike, ca. 1880.  A 10.75-inch case veneered in rosewood (almost certainly new) with an 8-inch dial.  The paint is original with some touch-up, well done; C JEROME across the top and a seconds bit; the hands are original, the seconds hand a replacement.  The glass appears modern.   The signed 8-day lever movement is running and includes a strike; there is a wire at the bottom left that you can pull to advance the strike.  A nicely refurbished example.  $50-$150.
