·Opened it to seewhat the condition was inside and to see if I could clean the glass face butwas a little more complicated than expected, so left it alone.

·Did find thatthe electrical cord was not connected inside, so I assume that would needrepaired/replaced in order to operate properly (I left it alone for the newowner)

·Neat Old Clock

Info about thecompany:

The Sessions Clock Company(\"Sessions\") was one of several notable American clock companiescentered in Connecticut.The E Ingraham Clock Company, the New Haven Clock Company, the Seth ThomasClock Company, Sessions and its predecessor E.N. Welch Company, and theWaterbury Clock Company collectively produced most of the mechanical clocksmade in America between the early 19th century and 1950.

About 1900, William E Sessions and otherfamily members purchased a controlling interest in the E.N. Welch Company, aclock manufacturer located in Forestville, Connecticut. Sessions\' fatherowned a foundry located in Bristol, Connecticut that produced casesfor E.N Welch Co. On January 9, 1903, the company was reorganized as TheSessions Clock Company.

Within a few years the Sessions Clock Companywas producing clock movements, cases, dials, artwork and castings for theirline of mechanical clocks. Between 1903 and 1933 Sessions produced 52 models ofmechanical clocks, ranging from Advertisers, large and small clocks with logosof various businesses, to wall, or regulator clocks, and shelf or mantelclocks, designed for the home. Many of the Session clocks from this period areprized by collectors.

In 1930, the company expanded to produceelectric clocks and timers for radios, while continuing to produce traditionalbrass mechanical movements. Beginning at the end of World War II Sessions WModel (electric) was widely used by various casting companies for their clocks.The dial of the W Model read Movement by Sessions. In the early 1950s Sessionsbegin to produce timers for television.

In 1956, Sessions was absorbed by a companyinterested mainly in their timing devices. In 1959, William K. Sessions,grandson of William E. Sessions left the Sessions Clock Company and formed theNew England Clock Company. In 1960, one of the Sessions Clock buildings wassold to the Bristol Instrument Gears Company.
