BLACK SQUARE MANTEL CLOCKS WERE VERY COMMON IN THE LATE 1800’S UP UNTIL THE 1930’S, MOST AMERICAN CLOCK MAKING COMPANIES MADE MANY DIFFERENT STYLES OF THEM.  THEY WERE MADE IN BLACK IRON, BLACK MARBLE OR ONYX AND THE ECONOMICAL MODEL—BACK THEN—BLACK WOOD!     

SESSIONS WAS THE BABY OF THE AMERICAN CLOCK MAKERS.   THE YOUNGEST….  HAVING STARTED MAKING CLOCKS IN 1903 VERSES ALL THE MANY OTHER COMPANIES THAT STARTED IN THE MID TO LATE 1800’S, LIKE GILBERT, SETH THOMAS, WATERBURY….. ETC.

IT IS UNFORTUNATE, BUT SOMETIMES CLOCK MOVEENTS ARE SO FAR GONE THAT THEY JUST CANNOT BE REPAIRED OR MAYBE IT JUST ISN’T COST EFFECTIVE TO REPAIR THE MOVEMENT…  AT A TIME LIKE THAT, TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO ENJOY THE CLOCK AS A WORKING CLOCK AND KEEP THE SAME LOOK FROM THE FRONT OF THE CLOCK, IT CAN BE CONVERTED TO A QUARTZ BATTERY OPERATED PIECE….   FROM THE FRONT THE CLOCK WILL STILL LOOK THE SAME, BUT INSTEAD OF WINDING, IT WOULD RUN WITH A BATTERY.   QUARTZ MOVEMENTS ARE AVAILABLE IN TIME ONLY, TIME WITH PENDULUM AND EVEN WESTMINSTER/WHITTINGTON CHIMES, WHICH ARE A FAVORITE AMONGST MANY!
