Chauncey Jerome papier mâché MOP round-top, 1845-1850.  The wooden case is 14.5 inches tall with gilding, polychrome flowers and MOP on the front.  The sturdy brass bezel opens with a push-button on the left; the glass is modern and the zinc dial has been repainted.  The hands are probably replacements.  The 8-day time-and-strike brass movement is unsigned and there is no label inside or on the back, so we are assuming it was made by Jerome & Co.  It is running and striking on a wire gong without problem.  $150–$250.
