Crikley; the 3rd installment is now over 100.
Here's a new thread; I wonder if Alix et al would consider taking all of the previous clock talk and photos and create a new blog or file somewhere on the forum.
We mustn't lose track of these fabulous photographs....

LRF; about the book.....
I'm trying another tactic. I'm trying to get the book buyers from MOMA and the Walker Art Center interested in backing the idea of the book. Heck, if they think they can sell a bunch than perhaps Peter Schiffer's mind can be changed!
Meanwhile, anybody who has any old Interiors magazines, look through and find as many ads as you can.....we'll need them if this project ever gets off the (damn) ground!
this is my favorite thread ...
this is my favorite thread It would be nice of the people who own Design Addict
to arrange them so they do not get lost just like Barry said, cause a lot of valuable information has come out of the Nelson clocks, I dont know about you all but i have trouble retreaving archive information,

great idea barry all of the old adds will be great
There is a guy on the Internet that sells all of the miller clock catagloges for 125.00 for 10
I had his website but my computer crashed and i lost all of my book marks and have been to busy to try to find the old catalogues and his website any one have any ideas
I purchased all of the...
I purchased all of the re-prints from "that guy" a few years ago. Alot of redundancy but well worth the investment.
If I were to offer good quality reproductions on card stock for of all of them, would people here be interested? I could provide a list of all the catalogs I have...I paid over $100.00...but if people were interested, I be willing to sell them for $50.00 plus the cost of copies/stock
Let me know.
on the blog!
Barry had a very good idea!
We have now archived the 'Nelson Clocks' thread on the blog.

Interiors Magazine: pictures of clocks
With only a couple of exceptions, I have the entire collection of Interiors magazines from the time period. There is almost always a neat Herman Miller ad and often at least one Howard Miller in each. The problem would be chronicling each of the clock pictures and organizing them. It has been on my "to do" list for years, but you know how that goes.
Anyway, I got the idea for my Kite clock totem from Interiors and first saw the eye clock hung vertically there as well. I prefer the eye clock hung horizontally, but it sometimes is pictured in the catalog vertically. You could even order it with the hole on the other side so that it would hang vertically more easily.

If you would not mind making copies of the ads I would be more than delighted to pay for them when you have a chance.
Both Barry and i are starting a data base for every thing that pertains to the Nelson clocks and Howard miller ,
When we get that compiled we will be that much closer to getting the book underway,
I would love to have your entire collection photographed cause from what you say you must have some collection going.
I only have 20 original Howard Millers, and I am thinking there must be at least over 125 different styles of clocks from the 50 to the late 70s
