	title of this thread your message I have so much company literature and financial documents from Howard Miller from the 1960's to late 1980's. In spite of this floor clock having Nelson Hands, I have never seen it even claimed once as Nelsons in the few times it appeared in Print ads. It is a Very Short clock that is just over 4 feet tall. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170411187620&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_12580wt_948 I have the Digital Floor Clock based on the same exact Chrome Frame. The Howard Miller Ads that I have never mention George Nelson in connection with this Red Digital Readout Chrome Framed floor clock either. Since I had the Digital version, I looked up the clock on the financial statements and it did not appear as a royalty paying item number at all. HOWEVER George Nelson Did design at least Two Lucite Floor Clocks with those same hands as they appeared in a advertisement stating they we the "Clear Choice in Contemporary Clock Design by George Nelson". I Do have one of those two Floor Clocks. I feel that the Chrome Digital Clock was made by an outside company and Branded Howard Miller to be sold through their sales force. It's offered in 1972-73 on the Price Lists. This Lucite one shows up in 73-74. Could they have retrofitted the inventory of 1,200 non selling Digital inventory with the Lucite clock mechanisms to make them saleable? Please forgive any typos. I'm sending this from my iPhone. Any opinions or insight. I have 6 definite Nelson Floor Clocks and I should probably get this one on Ebay if it can be proved to be by his firm. But in my unique and expansive archive, I am stumped! associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
