	title of this thread your message Sure, I would like to have an original Nelson clock...who wouldn't? But I'm not rolling in the dough here. I have funds set aside where I save up for certain items that I want. I'm currently saving up for a Nelson spindle clock. I absolutely love them. I asked for one of the All Around The World knock-offs for Christmas from my dad. They don't carry the spindle clock last I checked so he'll probably get me the eye clock which is my second favorite Nelson clock. I won't actually get the clock until late January as I won't be traveling home until then. My sister is due then, and I couldn't afford to go home for both Christmas and the baby's birth. We're having our family Christmas then. Anyhoo, I'll take a nice knock-off any day then having a bare patch of wall with nothing to hang on it. And I personally consider re-issues to be knock-offs. IMHO, the Vitra clocks ARE knock-offs as they are not originals. I think the only originals are the ones from the actual time-period they were produced in. There are only a certain number of originals left, and they can be quite expensive. Do I see a problem owning a knock-off. No...not as long as you are happy with it. That's what counts. My parents bought me a knock-off Wegner daybed for my graduation present. It was a surprise. I wasn't expecting it, and hadn't asked for it. I was doing fine with my non-Modern college sofa. My parents knew that I was re-decorating my living room in mid-century modern around a few pieces I got after my grandmother's death. They thought that I would like the sofa since it was mid-century modern and my sofa definitely was not. Do I like the sofa though even though it's not an original. Yes, it's still a nice sofa/daybed even if it isn't a Wegner original, and my parents certainly can't afford an original. And I would never ask them to buy me one. An item does not have to be an original for the user to derive enjoyment from it. associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
