Did George Nelson Thin Edge legs ever come in gold?
Just picked up a bar that I'd thought might be a Nelson design from the crappy craigslist photos, and it clearly isn't. It does have what look just like Thin Edge legs on it, but they are a gold color. I'm really not into the looks of the bar and am considering just scrapping it and saving the legs. Could these be actual Nelson legs if they're not the silver I'm accustomed to seeing?
Very doubtful...
If so, you'd have yourself some rare Saarinen-influenced artifacts. But again, I highly doubt it.
EDIT: And oh yes, photos always help...

Not Nelson
Those are not Nelson thin-edge legs. The thin-edge legs are made of aluminum and are round at the top flange where the screws go through, not square. Certainly derivative of the Nelson design, but not the real deal.
