Even still more Nelson Clocks 6  

Nice Rosewood Umanoff on eBay right now
Isn't this a nice clock? It's number 636

Amazed
I'm amazed by how tenacious you both are and am enjoying all the learning...keep it up! I could only guess this is the record setting thread length on Design Addict.

Wow! check this rare clock out
I've never seen this one...and the guy wants $2500.00 for it.
It's got to be rare, but too expensive.
The face is metal.

Nobody's commenting
anymore?
Nobody's sharing any more Nelson clocks, either?

Running out of time
pieces....
Saw that last clock...neat piece. Justifies $2000? Couldn't say.
Barry...exchanges are mostly LRF and you that it almost seems like a public conversation everyone else evesdrops on.

Woof, I would hope that others would get into the conversation
LRF got my excited in collecting clocks because of his wall groupings...and I have lots of blank white walls without much art to put up there.
I have a bunch of them now, and am still interested in the total lack of history on what is a major group of designs.
That last clock is still for sale; I wouldn't spend that much, but I posted it because it's a model I've not seen before.
In my opinion, there's no competition here.
Besides, there's not too many other type of good design that one can actually collect quantity. I wouldn't think that there's too many people who have a warehouse full of Jacobsen Egg Chairs....

very few clocks
I have been looking at the George Nelson clocks on ebay lately and it seems it has just dried up. just a bunch of sorry fakes,
I dont know if this is good or bad
I really have more than enough and my walls are covered so I hate to say i might have to move on to a new collection. just wondering what it should be?

Another 'new' one
#642

I just won this wacky clock (above)
for less than $130.00. I'vew never seen it before and even though it's late, it's kinda cool.
Wonder why there's little if any interest in Nelson clocks on the forum these days...

Barry, I know you must
be joking 🙂 With 6 separate threads, and somewhere between 600 and 800 posts and thousands of "reads" everything that can be said has been said. They've been great posts and great photos. We're still waiting for you and Lloyd to bring out your book on the subject, you don't want to give the whole thing away on the forum, do you?
It's like going to the movies, you wouldn't go see the same movie every single day for years? :-0 (And yes, I am trying to be friendly and gentle here)

I'd like to know that
there are a few more members of this wonderful forum who occasionally buy a clock besides Lloyd and I.
The book idea has seemed to run out of steam. I'm in Minneapolis and Lloyd is in Tulsa. Neither of us are writers and since Schiffer Books is so totallly uninterested, it's hard to imagine that I could get it together on my own.
Any ideas?

Here are a few ideas
The distance between you and Llyod is a non-issue. With the internet you can send text and photos back forth with ease, should make collaboration quite easy.
As to Schiffer showing little interest, they are more than likely not the only potential publisher. I think the key is a really dynamic "treatment", outline, or synopsis, call it what you like, and send it out to every possible publisher. Museum publishing houses, Taschen, Rizzoli, etc. I would also send links to the exhaustive amount of photos and info that has been posted here already to show the potential pre-publication interest already drummed up on this forum.
I would also start similar threads on other modern design forums to spread the interest. And lastly I would post a thread seeking connections and interest from those who might actually be able to bring a book such as this to market. Clearly those in the realm of MCM publishing must read a couple of these forum posts occasionally. They can't be entirely populated and posted from purely the enthusiast realm. And lastly,
If you can speak the language, you can write the language. Your passion for the topic is sure to overcome any of your self-perceived deficiencies in writing, it's also why publishing houses employ editors. To mold and shape raw passion into coherent prose. I say go for it!

Book contacts
Barry & Lloyd, I owned an independent bookstore for 12 years that I just sold last July. If you would like, I have contact names and numbers at just about every publisher you can think of. I think it would be a great book, especially in the high-end "coffee table" art format, rather than a cheaper price guide type of book. Middle of the road between those two genres would be DK publishing--check them out, too.

See that!
In less then an hour through the power of the mighty DA forum, publishing contacts have already made themselves or at least a connection to them now known to you.

Really cool...thanks
What I had envisioned is a George Nelson Associates book spotlighting the clocks and all other none Nelson designs not handled by Herman Miller including;
Bubble Lamps
Half Nelson lamp
Kite Lamp
Spice Cabinets
Wall Vanity
Wall Desk
Ribbon Wall
Planers
Room Dividers
Dinnerware
Everyday silverware
Carving tools
Fireplace pieces
is the list endless of what?
I haven't heard much from Lloyd lately - either privately or on the forum. Guess he's a busy guy.
