Vintage Novelty Heinz Baked Beans Pencil Case

Jon Nix — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 13:02:58 +0000

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.).

With a multi-coloured style typical of the 1980s, this Platignum "Colour Vibes" cartridge fountain pen is not only sealed and as new, but it also comes with a free correction/eraser pen and a orange sticker proclaiming this. A rare find in this condition and a nice item from the period when muliti-coloured plastic was all the rage.

Vintage Bruning Corded Electric Draughting Eraser

Something a little bit different, but also something with a very definite practical use...! A vintage Bruning corded electric eraser originally used by draughtsmen, architects and engineers. It probably doesn't require explanation - it's a very effective erasing tool for pencil drawings or other artwork - but it looks like a cross between a ray gun and a small hairdryer. This one is in fully-functioning order and is in good condition. It certainly makes light work of erasing tasks if you wanted it as a practical tool rather than as an interesting object or curio.
