Family Clock

This clock was given to my Mom used in 1931 when she married. I'm not sure if it was my grandmother's or not. My Mom had Alzheimer's so a lot of stories were misstated.

It is in perfect working order. My hubby surprised me several years ago by taking it to a clock shop and having it looked at. All the guy did was clean the dust out a little, as he said it was in such original condition he didn't want to alter it at all.

It is a Sessions or E.N.Welch according to him, approx 1880-1890's. I haven't found any pictures of one like it. I also have a picture of my family dated Christmas Eve 1951, in which the clock is on the mantel. I was 1 1/2 yrs old at the time. We also have the original key.

I would like to find out more about this clock. Thanks.
