1950s Vintage “Rolinx” tambour design pencil case in green and cream plastic

Jon Nix — Fri, 14 Apr 2023 16:32:12 +0000

A rare and unusual pencil box, made by Rolinx and of an early plastic construction, with a very clever tambour design. Pushing the roll top open reveals the top layer of the pencil box with various sections providing room for erasers and the like. Pushing the lid all the way to the end until it clicks then opens a door which reveals access to the lower layer, where pens and pencils are stored. It all works perfectly and the box is nice and secure when the lid latches in place.

Cosmetically, the box is in pretty good shape too. As an early plastic the colouring isn't totally even throughout and there are the remnants of a sticker on the side, but otherwiis it's good - no chips or crack, just some general signs of age and wear. It measures approximately 21.5cm long by 10cm wide with a height of 4cm (8½ in., 4 in., and 1½ in. respectively).

A true novely item, this is a vintage pencil case made of a flexible rubberised plastic in the form of a can of Heinz baked beans shaped into a pencil with a removal rubber top for the eraser. Immediately recognisable in terms of branding, it most likely dates from the late 1970s or early 1980s.
In good overall condition with some minor signs of age and wear, particularly to the "eraser", the pencil case measures approximately 23 cm (9 in.) in length with a diameter of approximately 4.5 cm (1¾ in.).

Jon Nix — Thu, 20 Feb 2020 01:26:11 +0000

If your first thought at reading the word "Pianica" is a kind of plastic gimmick, a novelty musical item, then this Tokai Pianica 36 will have you doing some serious rethinking. Because it's a serious musical instrument and this one is vintage, dating from the late 1960s. Made in Japan by Tokai, the "36" (later to be known as the P36) is a high quality and superbly engineered musical instrument in a sturdy metal body. This one is complete with a carry case, two sets of tubing and mouthpiece, and an illustrated booklet. That's not to say it isn't a fun instrument - it most certainly is! Whether you play it flat like a piano (using the tubing and removable mouthpiece) or held in your hands like a melodica, this instrument is both highly enjoyable and instantly musical.

Offers are invited for this, now hard to find, musical instrument.
