    I noticed an earlier post that inspired me to sign up to maybe get any information that you may be able to give me. I think it is interesting that the aforementioned posters clock number was only 34 number higher but the design is different. Would that be a serial number or model number? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance ;)

      It is not that usual for clock manufacturer to change styles, especially a Sessions clock, they had a wide variety of shapes and styles.

      So would this have been a serial # or a model number? Did this one have a name? ie. camel back? This was the previous poster I referred to ~> http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/101661-classic-style-sessions-mantle-clock-8?in=155

      Hello tonyschacher. Welcome to C.W. As rlwindle stated, American Clock Manufacturers of the era represented by your "Tambour" style of Mantel Clocks were always changing style and Sessions had a lot of them as it tried to compete with larger companies like Seth Thomas and Ingraham.

      To answer your question, I'm not sure what that number on the label is. I suspect that it is a model number. Serial numbers, when present, are most often found stamped somewhere on the brass movement. Your clock looks very similar to, but not exactly like, a model Sessions called the "Surprise", also from circa 1925. Sorry I can't be more definitive for you.
