This 30-hr octagon marine timepiece is set into a well-preserved finished wood case. Unlike many of these clocks, this one has retained its brass filigree around the edges of the front of the case, along with all eight white porcelain inserts. The clock's 30-hr balance wheel or "marine" movement was produced by Laporte Hubbell.
The label on the back, which states the clock design was patented in 1865, and the faded but still visible "Jerome" just above the hand shaft, identify the clock as a product of Jerome & Co. of New Haven, CT. S.B. Jerome was one of the sons of Chauncey Jerome, who started the original company in 1816, which went bankrupt in 1855. S.B. Jerome continued on in the business with his own company into the latter half of the 1800s.
The dial is 6 inches in diameter. The case is 9 inches across side to side and 2-1/4 inches front to back.
