AMERICAN SESSIONS ANTIQUE TIME AND STRIKE MISSION STYLE MANTEL CLOCK WITH KEY WORKING

SESSION AMERICAN MADE MISSION STYLE TIME AND STRIKE MANTLE CLOCK IN A BEAUTIFUL OAK CASE.

IT IS ANTIQUE DATING FROM THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY.

HAVE A KEY FOR WINDING. IT IS WORKING AND TICKING AND STRIKING.

I THINK IT IS AN 8-DAY CLOCK AS MOST OF THE SESSIONS MANTLE CLOCKS WERE.

THE SIMPLE DESIGNS OF THESE MISSION STYLE CLOCKS FOCUS ON HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL LINES AND FLAT PANELS THAT ACCENTUATE THE GRAIN OF THE SOLID OAK.

IT IS A TIME AND STRIKE CLOCK KEEPS TIME AND STRIKES ON HOUR AND HALF HOUR BUT THERE IS NO CHIME.

MARKINGS:
NO DECERNABLE MARKINGS THAT I COULD SEE (MAYBE OBSCURED INSIDE) BUT THE BACKSIDE MECHANISM IS CONFIRMED ONLINE TO BE A SESSIONS TIME AND STRIKE CLOCK.
 
SIZE: 26CM WIDE 28CM HIGH 13CM DEEP
 
CONDITION: CLOCK NEEDS A THOROUGH CLEANING BUT IT STILL WORKS. I HAVE A WINDUP KEY. BECAUSE ITS AMERICAN YOU WIND UP THE LEFT KEYHOLE CLOCKWISE BUT THE RIGHT ONE ANTI-CLOCKWISE. THE BACK COVER HINGE IS A BIT UNSTABLE BUT IN TACT. IT KEPT TIME CORRECTLY AND STRUCK ON HALF HOUR AND HOUR AS IT SHOULD.
 
SESSIONS CLOCKS (1903-1970):
The Sessions Clock Co., was founded in 1903 by William E. Sessions and other members of the Sessions family, in Forestville, Connecticut. Mantle clocks were just one among many different types of clocks manufactured by Sessions. The company also produced advertising wall clocks for businesses, regulator clocks and clocks for shelves. Then in the 1930s, Sessions started making electric clocks and timers. In the late 1950s, company ownership changed and in 1970, The Sessions Clock Co., was liquidated. The Sessions mantle clocks alone were many and varied, and are sometimes available for sale on online auction sites.
