What is the correct name for these hands?
I'm a fan of these non-Stick-style 'pointy' hands from the 1950's and 60's.
Do they have a correct name? Were they always lumed? I've seen a few examples that appear to be lume-free. Are these legit? Is the lume always tritium for this period? Presumably rhodium is long gone by this time? I'm looking specifically at Refs, 6202, 6309 and 6609. Thank for any insight anyone can offer. (Pics: curtesy Google image search). |
