If memory serves me right, Clerke's were prototypical of what was referred to as a "Saturday night special". Made from cast alloy (Zinc and/or low grade aluminum primarily) most were chambered for low-pressure cartridges -- .22LR, .32 S&W (not long) mostly and the .38 S&W (not special). If one of these guns survived firing more that 200 rounds, I'd be surprised. One specimen that I saw -- in .22 caliber -- you could see where the sprue holes were in the casting mould as they had barely polished (not machined) them off. The .38 S&W was better finished but it had fallen from an idiot's pocket in a parking lot. The fall not only popped the cylinder open, it cracked it and fractured the joke they called the cylinder crane.
Clerkes made the RG/Rohm guns look like premium guns.

How did Samuel Colt's revolver help people in the 1800s?
at that time there were only single shot rifles and pistols. A single shot weapon was not the best to have when fighting indians. He felt a multiple shot weapon was in order. So, he developed the first multiple shot percussion pistol....that developed into the cartridge pistol and rifle............
What is a 22 long five shot Clerke 1st pistol worth?
Well, I don't know specifically what a Clerke 1'st .22 long is worth, but I do know a Clerke 1'st firing a .32S&W goes for anywhere from $70 to $80 depending on condition and I also know that .22 caliber versions of revolvers usually cost a bit less, so I'd venture to say somewhere in the $50 to $65 range.
