One picture was take while the clock was running showing the movement of the pendulum. Has E. N. Welch on the dial and on the movement. Strikes on the hours. Short history of the company: The E. N. Welch Manufacturing Company was a joint stock corporation formed 6 July 1864 to succeed an older private firm making clocks under the name of E. N. Welch. Elisha N. Welch (1809-1887) had been making clocks at a factory site on East Main Street at Forestville,Connecticut since taking over the bankrupt business of J. C. Brown about 1856. After the death of Elisha Welch in 1887, the firm began to decline rapidly, selling off some of its assets and issuing new stock to raise capital. Members of the wealthy Sessions family were busy at this time buying out former stockholders and eventually took control of the firm in 1902 and changed the name to the Sessions Clock Company on 9 January 1903. All clocks sold after 1903 bear the Sessions name, which helps date this clock to before their take over.
