Chauncey Jerome oversized steeple with reversed fusee, 1845–1853.  A 22.5-inch case with good mahogany veneer and a polished finish.  Both glasses are old, the lower glass replaced and repainted.  The dial holds the original paint with a faint Jerome signature and has been varnished.  The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is die-stamped and has a reverse-fusee arrangement, with wooden fusee spools on the winding arbors and a spring and winding spool directly below the movement.  These are probably not true fusees, as the taper is not correct. The clock is running and striking.  There is a good blue label behind plastic on the back wall.  This model is a bit easier to find than the two previously listed models.  $250–$500.
