Jerome & Co. “Octagon Top”, ca. 1860.  A 16-inch shelf clock with walnut veneer and black or ebonized trim in a typical Jerome style.  The gutta percha inserts in the top and lower glasses show no breaks and the gold trim is still bright.  Both glasses are old.  The paint on the flat metal dial may be original, the closed Maltese hands are very old.  The brass 30-hour time-and-strike movement is unsigned, running but the strike is not working and requires an adjustment to one of the lift levers.  It should strike on a wire gong.  There is a nice label on the door with instructions for adjusting the clock, and wallpaper on the inside of the case.  A nice example; these are selling for around $100 on eBay these days.  $100-$150.
