Electric Table Clock Model 3W from Sessions
In the world of vintage electric clocks, the Vintage Sessions electric table clock model 3W is a lesser-known gem. A search reveals no direct results specifically about this model, its history, value, or common issues. However, some insights can be gleaned from general knowledge about vintage electric clocks made by Sessions Clock Company.
Established in 1903, the Sessions Clock Company was a prominent American manufacturer active mainly in the early to mid-20th century. Known for their mechanical and later electric clocks, a model labeled "3W" likely refers to a specific electric-powered clock model with a 3-watt motor, typical for mid-century electric clocks.
The value of vintage Sessions electric clocks depends on their condition, rarity, working order, and demand. Typical values for small electric table clocks from this era and manufacturer might range from $30 to over $150 USD. Rarer or more decorative models fetch higher prices. For precise valuation or historical specifics on model 3W, collectors' forums, specialized clock appraisal sites, or vintage auction platforms focusing on antique clocks would be recommended next steps.
One such model 3W was given as a Christmas gift to its current owner, a collector of mechanical clocks. The clock, manufactured by the Sessions Clock Co. in Forestville, Connecticut in 1936, arrived with a missing plug, a detached minute hand, and a finish that was almost completely worn off. As part of a project between the author and their daughter, the clock was refinished, bringing it back to its former glory.
Measuring 4 1/2 inches tall and 8 1/4 inches wide, the vintage Sessions electric table clock is suitable for countertops or bookcases. The clock is self-starting and has a synchronous motor that operates at 60 cycles, ensuring accurate timekeeping. It also features one control in the rear, a push-and-twist-in knob that sets the time. However, it lacks an alarm, making it unsuitable for bedside use.
Interestingly, the clock was sold in Canada and has a Canadian Standards Approval sticker on the back. This, along with its self-starting feature, suggests that it was designed to meet the electrical standards of Canadian households.
In other news, the Yukon Territory has decided to keep Daylight Saving Time permanent, starting March 8th. This decision was made based on an overwhelming majority of Yukon residents' preferences, marking a significant change in their annual clock adjustments.
Despite its electric nature, the vintage Sessions electric table clock, model 3W, is a fascinating addition to the author's collection, offering a glimpse into the past while providing accurate timekeeping in the present.
