New Haven Clock Co. “Anglo
American” wall clock, ca. 1860. The Jerome Co. had a thriving clock export business to England and that continued after the
company was absorbed into the NHCC. This is one of a couple of common models that have found their way back to the US. The 35-inch walnut case has extensive marquetry and an old finish; I see only one spot of missing marquetry, where a door handle might
be. The door glass is old as is the interior mirror. The dial has been repainted, the hands are appropriate. The
8-day, time-and-strike movement bears the New Haven CC logo and is running and striking on the brass bell with a nice tone, regulated
by a single barrel pendulum. There is no label and never was or is. The marquetry is extensive (note the base), and the
inside carvings backed by cloth are nice, making this a desirable clock. $125–$250.
