This clock has been in my family for several generations. The face of clock says sessions clock co. On the back of the clock it says sessions clock co, formerly e.n. welch, forestville, conn.
I do not know what is beneath the wax; but her head, shoulders, torso & arms below the elbow are all wax. Her legs appear to be wooden? But I am not certian. Her clothes are attached & not removable. I cannot find any markings or makers anywhere on this doll. She is approx 18" tall. Her hair is very fine & rooted into the wax. My guess would be actual human hair or mohair? Her facial features are painted; except for her eyebrows & eyelashes - which are the same substance as her hair & also rooted in the wax. A great attention to detail has been applied to this doll. I am looking to find out everything I can about her, including a value. Some of her fingers are broken & one is missing with a wire protruding from the wax where it used to be.
A trunk made of wood (probably oak). Inside front is a 2"wide hinged compartment running the length and down to the bottom. (I really would like to know what this was used for.) It looks as if there was some sort of covering over all the outside corners. Maybe metal, but this is gone. (This is why I said poor condition. Otherwise condition is probably fair or good.)
I cannot find any information so I hope someone can help. I have a full service for 12. Recently broke 2 teacups and need to replace them. I also have platters. They are all numbered. It is Walzburg pattern WLB28, gold rimmed and embossed. They say Walzburg Made in Poland on the bottom with makers mark like a ornate W. If anyone could find information about when they were made, how to replace the teacups, and the value, I would be very appreciative. Thanks
