Cataloger Note:
Antique oak cased 8-day time-and-strike mantel clock manufactured by The Sessions Clock Company of Forestville, Connecticut, dating between 1903 and the 1930s.
Features a classic wooden case with a distinct arched top, a decorative metal finial peak, and a round glass-covered white dial with stylized Arabic numerals.
The Movement: Houses an authentic, unmarked brass mechanical movement. The dual winding holes on the front face power two separate internal steel springs—one to run the timekeeping gears and the other to operate the strike train.
Chime Mechanism: Equipped with a coiled wire gong located inside the base, which rings out to strike the half-hour and count the hours.
Regulation: Uses a drop-wire crutch loop connected to a weighted pendulum bob to control and adjust the "tick-tock" speed of the clock.
