Small Micronta Desktop LCD Display Digital Alarm Clock and Thermometer 63-9010

Jon Nix — Mon, 31 Jul 2023 13:41:22 +0000

A small battery-powered Micronta LCD clock which has a few tricks up its err... small sleeves. This relatively uncommon unit dates from the 1980s and is mainly brown plastic with silver tone panels. It measures just 8cm square with a height of 7cm. There is an alarm and snooze function, with options for either 12-hour or 24-hour clock display formats, and a thermometer which provides a temperature reading in either Degrees Celsius or Fahrent units. And it has a small light too to illuminate the display.
We think you'd agree that all is quite a lot crammed into such a small package.

West German Krups Type 621 White Flip Clock with Day/Night and Day Display

Technically a cyclometer rather than a flip clock, the Krups 621 is a small but perfectly formed analogue clock with alarm, day/night and day name display (in German), and rotating seconds indicator. It's an understated slab of minimal design in the vein of Dieter Rams and the Braun design ethos, with a flat front angled slightly upwards from the slender base. The front is dominated by the contrasting display panel whilst the rest of the unit is subtle and sculpted, with no fuss to it at all. Even the time and alarm adjustment knob is cleverly configured to cause the least amount of surface interruption. There's a clean, space-age feel to it.

In fully working condition and with superficial wear and tear to be expected from an item of its age and use. There are no chips or cracks to the casing. It measures approximately 18cm across the front, extends to a depth of 11cm and is 8cm at its highest. Please note, this unit requirees a 240V power supply and is currently wired to a UK 3-pin plug.

Of undetermined origin but seemingly of some age, this nicely detailed small brass Concorde desk ornament on a stand might suit a collector of Concorde-related memorabilia, a general aviation enthusiast, or simply someone who wants a small taste of the jet age on their desk. The plane sits on the stand via a ball joint which allows for positioning and also screw which provides a more fixed placement.

The ornament is in good condition and measures approximately 8cm long, 5cm wide and 6.5cm high.

Dinky “Displayette” clear plastic display shelf

Back in the 1950s and 1960s Britain was a front runner in the world of engineering and design and we made things like this <record skip>. Err, we made things like this? Apparently, we did indeed make the "Displayette". This is a small display shelf fixable to a wall via four small nails to provide an almost invisible support for items you wish to show off. Think knick-knacks... small ones!

It's an unusual retro item, to be sure, complete, and with a box measuring 82x15mm (3¼ by ¾in). There is minor box and paperwork tear but otherwise it's in good condition. Apparently, once constructed, the "Displayette" measures 8cm by 8.5cm by 1.5cm (3 by 3¼ by ¾in).

"I say, how dinky!"
