All the clock-hand designs in this collection have been inspired by some pictures found in an old book, "Early English furniture & woodwork” (By Cescinsky Herber, Published 1922)". There are eight pairs of clock hands in the collection, each of them consisting of the short hour hand and the long minute hand. The hand designs are not drawn to be realistic in size and in order to make use of any of them, the chosen design must be scaled to the required size. In the book (below the pictures of the clock hands) it is stated that the hands match longcase clocks.
