Sessions Bedside Alarm Clock
This brass alarm clock was made by the Sessions
Clock Company. William E. Sessions, took an interest in horology and
bought the controlling stock in the E. N. Welch Company. In 1903, Welch jumped
out and the Sessions Clock Company was organized. Under William's authority,
the Sessions Clock Company produced everything required for their line of
clocks, including movements, cases, dials, artwork and of coarse, castings.
Sessions realized that the future of clock making was turning to electricity,
so in 1930, the company expanded to produce electric clocks, timers for
radios, televisions and other devices. They also kept producing traditional
brass mechanical movements. In 1956, Sessions was absorbed by a company
interested mainly in their timing devices. Kept as the Sessions Company, the
new owners ran the operation until 1969 when the decline in business forced
its liquidation.
