Even still more Nelson Clocks 6  

Riki--
My family had the clock you describe, when I was little-- a built-in, the "numbers" were attached to the wall, and the clockworks were planted inside the wall so that only the hands were visible.
(Yes, my father had unusually groovy taste-- architect.)

Judging by the numbers of them that have turned up on eBay, this built-in clock must've sold rather well. After all, think of all the banks, real estate offices, law offices, and stores with nice wood walls would've wanted this built-in clock.
It was very high styled looking built into a walnut paneled wall, for example.

There's a guy on eBay
selling this amazingly rare clock, called "DIAMOND MARKERS". the only color I've ever seen is the white one, see below.
It's up to nearly $500.00 thus far (out of my range) and the moving disc had a crack in the center and the seller states it doesn't turn properly, though the clock 'works"!

found this on Treadway...
Anybody know anything about this clock? Found it randomly when searching for Girard stuff on Treadway...says it's !950's Nelson but no model number...its obviously Howard Miller, but is it Umanoff, or Nelson?

Pretzel Clock on Ebay
This will go for a lot...wish I could afford it!

I saw one of those Howard Miller build into your wall clocks on Ebay
I think it was in its original HM box,with numbers,not markers.And cheap,too-only $150 or something.Wish I could've used it!

The built-in clocks
come up randomly on e-bay.
This listing has a brochure saying that
they had 87 combinations available.
Many are in the original boxes...
I imagine being mounted in the wall, considering
electrical, that it limited where you could place it for the
usual homeowner. Hence they sat on a basement shelf.
I have one bought a while ago...and where to put it?
Considering the slider pantry door? if i change it to battery.
Most have sold for under fifty.
(e-bay has a domain clause that does not seem to allow grab-image now)

One option with those built-ins
is to get your hands on a nice square piece of solid or veneered walnut, mahogony, rosewood, or some such nice wood and make up your own clock. If you put 2x4's on the back edges, you'll create a box that with the motor, yours will fit flat against the wall.
I don't have one of these models, but you could certainly create a hellava nice family keepsake clock!

Unfortunately
they are not put together so well.
It was a nice idea at the time they were made.
The HMiller sticker on the face and the aging glue...
Sliding off.
I will use mine soon. But will adjust it for my needs.
The original box design is pretty swank!
Nelson's office must have designed the logo?

Nice clock...
it's not in my Howard Miller 1972-73 catalogs. It's much later and possibly not an Arthur Umanoff clock.
Nice, tho.

re: hm 622910
Thanks for your reply, The guys at howard miller found it in a 1990 catalog. It came in white, black or red and cost $29.00. A "howard miller" design. Thanks again
