what is that cool black and white list of built in clocks? Did it come with the clock? Is it something you have that you can photocopy?
If so, I have some I can photocopy to send you...let's trade?

Oh.
I was hoping you had a copy.
I pinched it from an e-bay listing.(a catalog)
I'm not a big collector of anything. But i randomly look for
one of those. It just fits my home.
Lots of cedar and teak and cork.
I made one years ago after seeing one in my bank
at Grand Central. It was huge so i left it behind...

Has anyone seen this design?
Meridian model #534
To my knowledge Girard never did any graphics for the clocks; but this one makes me wonder. Thoughts anyone?

Interesting...
that this came up because there is one of these on Chicago Craigslist right now for $175. I was just emailing a fellow "board member" about this very clock the other day.
Would go great in our Girard-themed nursery, regardless if whether it is actually his or not, but I digress...I would be interested to find out as well
...oh, and I think I just sold a clock on Craigslist in Chicago...
*EDIT*
LOL Pegboard, due to our recent correspondence, it looks as though maybe YOU bought the clock on Craigslist...unless you are SELLING...

Interesting too that there's
an Arthur Umanoff "Swing timers" with the exact same graphic design and is numbered 926. All of these 900 series Swing Timers are polystyrene with shatterproof plastic convex crystals.
I'm not sure of the color on this clock (it's a black and white photo) but the hands are the standard thin unadorned Umanoff hands.

Yes. It was on craigslist a couple days ago. The seller was interested in some of the things we have, so we worked out a trade.
This clock has a 2 1/2" teak surround that I have seen on other clocks, but I've never seent this face. The line drawing of the sun and the font for the numerals look like Girard, but not the style of illustration in the outer bands.

Nelson night clock
Hi to all the clock sages.
I read all the fantastic posts taking years in the making and have yet to read if there is an alternative to Vitra's remake of the night clock. I want one, but would consider a more affordable option.
Cheers to all
Carlos

Just got this clock
RING AROUND
Clocks Ahead of Time series
2287A
Strangely, mine has a label with the number 6087.
It's the same as 2287A, but mine doesn't have the slender second hand.

the "Ribwood" model#2291
or sometimes called the "60 slats" by collectors. Your right jesgord, this one should go for at least $3000. Looks like it is in pretty good shape too. It is part of the "Clocks Ahead of Time" series also from 1961. Irving Harper design. Glad I already have one so I won't be tempted.
