Here's your chance at the model #2217 Diamond / Kite clock, the table-top version of George Nelson's 1954 design, for Howard Miller.Now sadly this one has seen better days however that opens up the possibility of an affordable "diamond in the rough" for one who's satisfied to display as-is. Or, for the handy one whom has access to parts or the ability to repair, a project. It retains its original Howard Miller sticker, original hands, & a pair of original porcelain wire nuts.Condition: The electric motor does not run. Many of the 10 "map push pin" type clock face pins are missing. A simple internet search reveals map push pins tacks that could be installed for a better display and could be an easy replacement option. The hands match other original models found with research. As you can see the hour hand has two black lines on it and the minute hand has a bend in it. If there ever was a second hand, it's long gone. Please look closely at the picture that shows the motor, the two screws that held the back section to the front are broken and still embedded in the front section of the clock. These will either need to be carefully extracted out or maybe for the as-is and display fella two tiny spots of glue to semi permanently secure the back to the front. Otherwise, scattered areas or age-related paint loss. Measurements: Wooden face; at widest point is 10 1/4", & at the tallest point is 6 1/4", and is 5 1/2" deep. Shipping: Well packaged and fully insured shipping via USPS Priority mail is FREE to you! Sorry, no international bidding shipping I ve had this bad boy for 15+ years and now it's time to offer it to the next collector. Please feel free to contact with any questions or concerns and thank you!Craig (Condition: Parts Only)
