Hello Bradleighh. Welcome to Collectors Weekly, Clocks. Your heirloom looks like a Sessions model called "Brewster" from circa 1923. Your clock may have been manufactured several years before or after that date. Also, your clock differs slightly from the model's catalog illustration. Your heirloom has different feet and side ornamentation. Your grandpa's clock also has the ornamental ribbon on the front. My Catalog illustration lacks that. It may be that your clock is a variation of the Brewster or perhaps a different model altogether. Here is an example of the Brewster as it appears in my references: http://nevictrola.com/1920-sessions-restored/
Sorry I can't be a little more definitive but that's as close a match as I could find.
If your clock is not a Brewster, I would still suspect that it was manufactured around the same time being that the designs are so similar.

P.S. I have two other clocks which more closely resemble your clock. They are the "Marigold" from circa 1925 and the Sidney from circa 1933. Neither one is an exact match. I'll keep your clock in mind. It looks like the basic design was a very successful one for Sessions.
The model name could also be the number at the top of the label. It looks like 2527. Some models were simply given numbers as their "name".
Wow thank you so much! How interesting! Yes please if you find out more I’d love to hear it. I did notice the number and tried doing some googling of my own which led me here lol I’m not the best at research so thank you for all the information you’ve found!
