very nice sessions desk clock, not many still working. by far my favorite. the detail is wonderful, only a few minor paint chips , for a clock this old not bad. I think its early 30's or late 20's not really finding much info out there about it.
Very nice!
Are there any markings on the base?
The Book "WARMAN'S CLOCK FIELD GUIDE" talks about them
Also might be known as " E.N. Welch " or Sessions Clock ??
Found some *other* SESSIONS clock here:

Sessions had a series of Novelty Clocks they called their "Easel": Easel No. 1, Easel No. 2, etc. I don't see your particular model number in my references but based on a similar design my guess would be that your clock is one of the Easels from circa 1932.
Here's another example that I found on the web:
