 Luther Conover and Plant Stands. This was actually from the weekend before last. Perfect fit They sure do look like the ones in the Architectural Pottery catalog. Tony Paul wall-mounted bar for Woodlin Hall, Richard Schultz table (that is an original color too) and two John Follis bowl for Architectural Pottery. This is from last weekend. Perfect for the Tony Hall from a few weeks ago.  Perfect timing. The 1952 Raymor ad for the bar.

This is actually from last weekend. I didn't go anywhere this weekend and that makes this the last pile of the year. It was a decent one I think.  Tony Paul chair for Woodlin Hall and two George Nelson for Howard Miller perforated metal clocks.  I haven't had one of these  model 2204 Howard Miller clocks in a long time.  The more I looked at the clocks, the more familiar they looked. I was dying to get home to compare them to Esther and Gross Wood bowls. As you can see, it's an exact match.  I'm not a George Nelson/Howard Miller expert by any stretch of the imagination but I do know they used some other items by different designers that they transformed into clocks. The seat of a Fritz Hansen stool and Bitossi ceramics are the ones that come to mind.  That makes it a California Design Nelson Clock.  I guess you can add Good Design to that as well. 

Paul McCobb, Tony Paul and Robert Maxwell Alvin Lustig A nice book weekend overall. I'm especially excited to get the Antonin Raymond Architectural Details book again. I had it in the past and lost it in a trade.

Bill Lam , Isamu Noguchi, Tony Paul and James Wayne Doyle Lane Cat and Bird (1962) wall hanging by  Evelyn Ackerman .  It has certainly seen better days.  I also found a stack of interesting photos.  More on this later.
