Antique Banjo Clock Cases, No Movements

These Antique Clock Cases have no movements but have something else, Class. These cases come from a time when things were simpler. Both cases have a painted scene's. The Sessions case ( Larger of the two ) has a ship in the forefront and a smaller ship in the background. The paint is flawed behind the ship ( see pic 3 ), what looks like a flaw in front of the ship is light glare there is no flaw there. Above in the painting of the anchor with eagle there is missing paint. This case is missing the round back that would cover the movement, ( see pic 9 ) and the eagle that would be on top of the case, ( see pic 2 ).  Other than that the case is in good condition. The dial, hands, bezel and glass are the original that came with this case. The second case ( The smaller of the two ) has the eagle on top of the case the scene is on paper behind glass and is in good condition as is the floral scene above ( see pic 10 ) . This case has a small compartment behind the paper scene at the bottom. The dial is a New Haven Clock dial as is the case but I am not sure if it is the original to this case, and as you can see there is no glass, bezel or hands. On both of these cases the brass accents on both sides of the cases are complete and in good condition. Along with these two cases there was included a Brass bezel with the glass and a sessions dial face ( Metal ). The sessions dial face is 5" because it is squared off ( see pic 1 ) The brass bezel with glass is 5 1/2" DIA. The Sessions case ( Larger ) is 25 " long 8" across the bottom and 4" thick, the dial face is 6" DIA. The New Haven Case is 24" long and at the bottom is 7 1/2" wide and 2" thick.

This came from an estate sale.
Any questions please ask.
