a year or so ago i picked up an original howard miller yellow asterisk clock. it's great except that it doesn't have any hands. does anybody out there know where i could find some hands or someone that could fabricate them for me? until then it still looks great hanging in my kitchen sans-hands.

Hi atomicat,

I do not know anyone specifically that does this...I am sure others on this board must have had similar problems, as the second hands are notorious to be missing from Nelson clocks, so please let us know.

BUT, I have heard of people having them fabricated by simply copying hands from an old or new Nelson clock. I would think anyone that works with metal or in a machine shop should be able to help.. maybe a local clocksmith could do this for you or at least point you to someone that could make the hands.

Good luck and let us know if you find an alternative!

Hi Atomicat,
I have an original black "arrow-type" hand for a Howard Miller, Nelson clock. I'm not sure which colors you need to complete your clock, but if you are interested you can email me at geekrock@aol.com.
