I bought some of those spade adn cath hands from you a couple years ago. They were the actual old hands you found from this time period, and you had meticulously relumed them with the safe radium which was dyed to match the 1920's period-correct radium color. They were/are perfect. I'm gonna get a few more sets of both from you, cause they will may be gone soon :) Never say never (or impossible). ...but you may hear "sold out"....and you were practically giving them away. LOL If I remember correctly, we discussed the time you spent on each set doing the relume, what you had to pay for them, and we decided you were loosing money, and "working" for about negative $25 per hour. I then realized you did this as a labor of love, and as a service to fellow Bulova collectors.
Not a good business model, but a fantastic model for a collector/enthusiast sharing his work and love of Bulova with others.
