	title of this thread your message i have a original astrick clock by Nelson from the 50s and I really never looked at that much, While rearranging all my clocks I noticed that the traditional triangle/arrow head that is the hour hand on most of the nelson clocks has been switched on this clock to be the minute hand on the astrick clock and on that clock is a streight hand for the hour hour. I really never even noticed it but when i put it in front of me after having it at the back of the room it really is different, and makes wonder what was he thinking , The Astrick as most of you know is by far one of Nelson most recognizable clocks next to the ball clock.and now reproduced by Vitra, I did buy two years ago a new reissue by Howard Miller that I keep out in the warehouse, that i have found out is no longer in their line but they reversed the hands to make the arrow head hand the hour hand. and the straight hand the minute, I guess they did not want to pay a license fee to the Nelson estate so they made up their own version, but for some reason it was jerked from the line. any one have any idea what this is all about . associated web images (optional) "> associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
