This fine Sessions calendar wall clock is known as a "Crescent" model and was made for the Spanish market. It has a simple calendar mechanism which means the calendar hand is moved ahead manually for the 30-day months and February. It is a professionally refinished dark oak with intricate carvings and incised lines in splendid condition. The original dial has darkened with a uniform patina which gives the clock a vintage charm. The time hands and calendar hand are original and in very good condition. The original engraved brass pendulum is in excellent condition. The upper and lower glasses are original with the ornate gold leaf stencilling on the bottom glass. There is a little loss on the upper stencil that is virtually unnoticeable. The movement is a time only. Circa: 1915. This clock is also known as a "Regulator" clock which was so very popular for an office or library in the early 1900's and now adds a very special warmth to any room.

Engraved in the case is the number 12 and it is not clear what it means, but could mean 12th clock made. It retains its original white painted iron dial which has some chips and a uniform patina with excellent numbers. It has a wood bezel and the glass is old but most likely a replacement. The throat glass has a reverse painting with gold gilt that has been restored. The bottom glass has its original reverse black and gold painting. The gold gilt on the eagle has some wear. The original heavy brass pendulum has an unique engraved design of scrolls, leaves and a primitive sun. The movement is a time only and is powered by a lead weight. Circa: 1875. Horace Tifft made banjo clocks in two distinct periods. He started in 1825 and stopped in 1845 to pursue a business in jewelry. He resumed clockmaking in 1857 and retired in 1881 at the age of 77. This clock was made during the latter period and is a fine example of the E. Howard styling of the day.
