This is a Wonderful walnut 100% All-Original 8 DAY DOUBLE DOOR Ogee shelf clock made circa 1840s. It was made by the Jerome and Co. Jerome & Co was one of the largest makers of clocks for a few years – then went out of business – was taken over by the New Haven Clock Co. in about 1850. This clock has all of its original parts (rare - see pictures), has the original top and bottom glass with the reverse painted picture nearly 100% there, (EXTREMELY RARE) (has some minor flaking– still looks great) the original movement, original doors (double door ogees are extremely rare), the original back with the original 100% label on the inside, the original pulleys, the original weights and the original dial in outstanding condition! Even has the original pendulum. Usually the top glass has been broken and the bottom glass has long since flaked off or been broken. Remember this clock was made 20 years before the Civil War! It is believed that less than 2% have survived to this day with most not in very good condition. The case is in very beautiful condition and has beautiful dark finish walnut with a beautiful grain. The sides and back of the case are great. The clock works perfectly and keeps very good time. It has an 8 day (very rare as most ogee clocks are 30 hour) time and strike movement. The clock strikes the hour on the hour on a large gong (original). The clock is fun to wind using the included crank. This clock works beautifully and will continue to do so for many years to come with no maintenance . The movement runs very well and keeps good time. This clock is very large – 31 inch high, 17 ½ inches wide and 4 3/8 inches deep. The power for the clock comes from its 2 original very heavy weights (cast iron) rather than springs. Weights cause the clock to keep better time rather than springs. Springs cause a clock to run faster when they are first wound and slower as they wind down. What a piece of American Heritage! Antique Clocks are a Fine Investment. Each one has a unique quality, as well as appreciating in value and beauty with age. You will become attached to your antique clocks and they will become a meaningful and important part of your life adding untold joy each day you own them.

Antique clocks serve many purposes other than being useful in telling time, decorative in your home, a valuable asset in your estate and above all a faithful servant and friend which will be true to you to the end of time. This clock will be packed VERY VERY CAREFULLY by our “award winning” (receiving a perfect “10” from a gracious customer) packing department (my wife, assisted by “Wild Thing”) to insure a safe delivery and the buyer is to pay $38.50 for shipping and ins. (The clock is “oversize” when packed and weighs well over 40 pounds with all the packing materials – the weights along are over 16 pounds) I will gladly answer any emails promptly. I have always hated that "reserve" when I have bid myself so this fine clock has no reserve and a very very low (gulp) starting bid.
