Opinion by

Subsequent to a jury verdict in favor of Averlean Lynch against Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (Metropolitan) in an assumpsit action in the Court of Common Pleas No. 7 of Philadelphia County, Metropolitan filed motions for judgment n.o.v. or, in the alternative, a new trial. On November 8, 1965, the court below entered an order dismissing Metropolitan’s motions. From that order the instant appeal was taken.

*489 No judgment on the verdict has ever been entered. 1 In the absence of such judgment no appeal lies. In Menyo v. Sphar, 409 Pa. 223, 224 (footnote), 186 A. 2d 9, we recently said: “Too many members of the Bar mistakenly believe that tbe appeal is from an Order which dismissed their motion for a new trial, instead of from a judgment which was entered on the verdict: [citing authorities].” See also: Denmon v. Rhodes, 416 Pa. 568, 569, 207 A. 2d 860; Gelzhiser v. Fisher, 418 Pa. 88, 208 A. 2d 836.

The instant appeal, being premature, must be quashed.
