Vintage Dymo 1710 Tape Label Maker (with additional tape)

Jon Nix — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 11:58:46 +0000

A vintage Dymo 1710 Tape Labeller in good condition and replete with three rolls of 6mm tape (White on Black) to be used with it. The labeller is in a very Seventies colour scheme, with the body in an avocado tinted green and the "trigger" handle in a lighter colour. The plastics are in good shape with no chips or cracks and the mechanism appears to be sound and functional.
The lettering is all capital with numbers and various common symbols.

Vintage Bentwood Desk “Pending” Paperwork Tray by Mallod c.1950s/1960s

Jon Nix — Tue, 16 Aug 2022 17:25:18 +0000

A very nice-looking vintage desktop paperwork tray in bentwood, made by Mallod, and dating from the 1950s or 1960s. This one has a very pleasing appearance with original cosmetic wear from use and a suitably vintage-looking red Dymo label attached to one side reading "PENDING". It's been cleaned and given a subtle wax to make the most of it, but otherwise left as is. There are signs of use and wear and tear throughout and there's a small chip to the underside near the front. It's not noticeable in normal use and it seems to have occurred some time ago so unlikely to worsen.

The tray measures 26.5cm by 36.5cm by 5.5cm (10½ in. by 14¼in. by 2¼in.)

Large Vintage Metal Record Shop Sign “Classics for Pleasure 84p” (EMI Classical)

Jon Nix — Mon, 15 Nov 2021 22:59:44 +0000

Judging by the font and the price (!), this sign from a record shop probably dates from the mid- to late-1970s. It's a metal item which has holes for hanging either vertically or horizontally and it proudly proclaims that for 84p you can have "Classics For Pleasure" and not in mono, oh no - the sign indicates "stereo"! The former presumably a reference to classical music records or cassettes from the EMI label of the same name. At some point, the price was different as the section where the "84p" is displayed is in fact a sticker on top of the metal sign.

The sign has wear and tear and some surface loss, most evident in the word "classics" but it looks great on a wall and is a certain conversation starter. It measures approximately 68cm x 28 cm (26¾ in x 11 in.). Any reasonable offers considered for this item.

Pyramid Enamel Two Handled Lidded Dish with Flowers and Butterflies Design

Jon Nix — Thu, 31 Oct 2019 21:54:46 +0000

A very attractive piece of enamelware made by Hague & McKenzie in their "Pyramid" range, this white lidded pot with two handles features a flowers and butterflies design in purple-blue, blues, yellow and olive green offset by a lid in a purple-blue tone. It's _very_ vintage in style but probably dates from the 1970s and is complete with its original labels affixed to the base and also to the inside of the pot and also original tag tied to one of the handles.

It therefore appears to have never been used at all, but unfortunately it has nevertheless suffered some slight damage to the inside of the rim. This shouldn't affect normal use and it's not terrible from an aesthetic point of view, but it needs to be noted. It could be easily "touched up" if so desired.

The dish measures approximately 18cm (7in.) in diameter on the rim and 14cm (5½ in.) at the base, with the handles protruding 2.5cm (1 in.) either side. Without the lid, it is approximately 8 cm (3¼ in.) in height, and with the lid adding approximately 4cm (1½ in.) to that.

Large Vintage Rough Glazed Stoneware Swan Ink Bottle

Jon Nix — Tue, 22 Oct 2019 20:11:23 +0000

A large (24 cm / 9½ in. high) stoneware bottle which originally contained Swan Ink and probably dates from the first half of the 20th Century. The bottle retains a partial label from which it can be ascertained that this once contained blue ink "made by the swan pen people". A piece with lots of character, we think, with an interesting speckled ground, rough glaze and some very dried ink marks.

Possibly re-purposable as a vase or simple as a decorative object, the bottle has stood the test of time well and has no chips or cracks and is in good overall condition. There is no maker's mark but the bottle was possibly made by Lovatt Langley Mill who were well known for this kind of container and stoneware finish. The diameter of the bottle is 11cm (4¼ in.) at its maximum, with the cylindrical shape of the body being 19cm (7½ in.)

Vintage Bentwood Desk “For Action” Paperwork Tray by Mallod c.1950s/1960s

A very nice-looking vintage desktop paperwork tray in bentwood, made by Mallod, and dating from the 1950s or 1960s. Ours has a very pleasing appearance with original cosmetic wear from use and a suitably vintage-looking red Dymo label attached to side reading "FOR ACTION". We have not restored the tray in any way except for a clean and a subtle wax. Expect there to be signs of use and wear and tear - we think it's all part of the character of this particular item.

The tray measures 26.5cm by 36.5cm by 5.5cm (10½ in. by 14¼in. by 2¼in.)
