Re: Antique clock with brass horses
Ā SESSIONS Horse and horseshoe mantle clock 1940's to 1950's... The 40's had a key wind.( in some).
In 1930, the company expanded to produce electric clocks and timers for radios, while continuing to produce traditional brass mechanical movements. Beginning at the end ofĀ World War IIĀ Sessions W Model (electric) was widely used by various casting companies for their clocks. The dial of the W Model readĀ Movement by Sessions. In the early 1950s Sessions begin to produce timers for television.
In 1956, Sessions was absorbed by a company interested mainly in their timing devices. In 1959,Ā William K. Sessions, grandson of William E. Sessions left the Sessions Clock Company and formed theĀ New England Clock Company. In 1960, one of the Sessions Clock buildings was sold to the Bristol Instrument Gears Company.
Ā
Kept as the Sessions Company, the new owners ran the operation until 1969 when changes in the market forced the Sessions Company into liquidation. In 1970, the remaining buildings were sold to Dabko Industries, a machine parts manufacturer.
They sell for around $50.00 Ā hope this helped. Some are called Lincolin Horse Clocks Ā Thats the clock maker and the Session is the movement maker I think
