Sessions Banjo Clock

The Sessions Banjo Clock is named for it's distinctive style. The round face and long stem of this wall clock made it look a bit like a banjo.

The clock shown here had a picture of a sailboat on the lower sections. Others had a picture of Mount Vernon, George Washington's home, a plantation or a scenic country home.

Banjo clocks are available with mechanical 8-day windup movements and electric movements. Since Sessions went all electric around 1936 you can be assured a windup banjo clock will have been made before that.
