34.                   $50

Seth Thomas/Jerome 30-hour OG, ca. 1850.  This clock appears to be a marriage of a Seth Thomas OG case with a Jerome movement and dial.  The mahogany case is 26 inches tall with good veneer all around; both glasses appear to be original with loss to the reverse-painted dial surround and complete loss of the lower tablet.  The unpainted tin dial is in good condition with modest discoloration and proper but painted hands.  The 30-hour time-and-strike brass movement is unsigned but looks like Jerome to me; this clock does not come with weights but I hung weights and it ran and struck without problem.  You can buy weights for $15/pair in Parts.  The label is Seth Thomas Plymouth Hollow.  I note the possibility that this is a Jerome case with a replaced backboard from an ST clock.  $50–$100.
