There is approximately 150 vintage clock designs. The first design was the Ball Clock 4755. All George Nelson clocks were electric. The George Nelson design was discontinued in the 1980’s but Vitra picked the line up in the 90’s.
The original George Nelson designs were given numbers by Howard Miller rather than names. The famous Sunflower clock was sold by Howard Miller as Clock 2261 and the Ball Clock was Clock 4755. Most of the clocks were sold with a variety of different colors. The Sunflower clock was sold in three different colors and the Ball clock was sold in six different colors.
These retro vintage George Nelson design clocks are still very sought after even today. They make a great gift or perfect for the collector.
