Remarkably unopened and still partially sealed in its original cellophane wrapper, this 1967 strategy board game designed by Jim Dunnigan and manufactured by Avalon Hill Games revolves around the major naval battle of Jutland in 1916.

Condition is obviously about as new as you can get. Some of the cellophane wrapper is coming away from the box, but it is otherwise pristine, unplayed with and in fabulous condition.

Designed in 1967 by Guy Sydenham and Tony Morris, this Poole Pottery serving plate or platter has a striking reactive glaze in their "Blue Lace" design. Don't be put off by the name - in reality, the reactive glaze produces an extremely organic and interesting mix of sea blues and greens and darker tones which makes every piece unique. These colour tones are beautifully complemented by the subtle sculpted shape of the form.

This one is in very good condition with no chips or cracks and very little sign of wear, if any at all. It measures 29cm x 25cm x 2cm approximately (11½ in. x 10in. x ¾in.)

Designed by Peter Nelson for the Architectural Lighting Company in 1967. Peter Nelson was the founder and designer at Architectural Lighting Company having learned his trade in the aerospace industry before starting to make lighting in 1961. This FA2 desk light is now considered an iconic design piece of the era and you can certainly see why!

The spotlight has a hand spun polished aluminium and chrome plated tubular steel base, stem, shade and bulb holder and distinctive encased switch holder. The height and angle of the shade and bulb holder are adjustable along the length of the stem.

Dimensions: Height of upright stem: 62cm. Length of shade and bulb holder: 20.5cm. Diameter of shade: 10cm. Diameter of base: 17.5 cm.

The light is in full working order and good condition with only minor blemishes to the aluminium consistent with a used 50 year old item. The switch has been renovated with a metric replacement part because the original Imperial part had become brittle and the switch housing fixings have been re-threaded to allow the housing to be adjusted as per its original design via an Allen Key (provided).
