Framed Vintage 1990s Selectadisc Record Shop Plastic Bag – Nottingham London

OK, so it might not quite qualify strictly as "vintage" but it certainly feels like a piece of memorabilia from a bye-gone age now. If you were a teenager in Nottingham or its surrounding area in the 1980s or 1990s, then you might immediately recognise this bag. As iconix as the shop fronts which bore the same design, perhaps. This bag dates slightly later than the original Nottingham shop(s), as it include the later Soho London store's details. The same store which featured on the cover of Oasis' 1995 album "(What's The Story) Morning Glory?".

The bag - measuring 34cm by 39cm - has been paired with a pre-owned Sixtrees frame which has a plain white surround and provides a suitable and understated complement to the bag and the record shop branding.

Waddingtons Raleigh Burner BMX Board Game (1985)

Jon Nix — Wed, 02 Nov 2022 19:39:07 +0000

A VERY 1980s board game, this is Waddingtons' collaboration with Raleigh: "Raleigh Burner BMX" a dice-rolling, card-pulling game centred around the BMX bikes of the same name. It features obstacles, jumps and other racing incidents in order to determine the winning rider. The game is almost complete in terms of the playing side, but it is lacking the promotional stickers and poster which originally were included. One of the six BMX gameplay pieces requires some attention to be fully usable - it's present but has a broken base, so please bear that in mind. The playing cards are all present, the dice too, and all of the plastic board elements are there as well. The board itself is in good shape, though slightly warped. Instructions are provided.

An unusual game which is sure to take some people right back to a time of stunt pegs, whitewall tyres, and bunny hops. Ahem.

Original signed pencil drawing, St. Peter’s Church Nottingham – Alan Sherwin

A framed original pencil drawing of the West Screen inside St. Peter's Church in the centre of Nottingham by artist Alan Sherwin.

The artist has annotated and signed the drawing, which is mounted inside an aperture of 10cm by 21cm (4 x 8¼in) with a frame measuring by 24cm by 40cm (9½ x 15¾in). The drawing has some signs of age, including some discolouration, but is a very good piece which would not only be of considerable local interest but also more generally as a fine drawing and example of ecclesiastical art.

Mid-Century Set of Drawers by William Lawrence of Nottingham

A handsome Mid-Century set of drawers with glossy finished teak top and three solid drawers. Well proportioned legs and a gallery rail complete the look. The top drawer is slightly shallower than the other two and contains the original maker's stamp "William Lawrence of Nottingham". The drawers have original and sturdy metal handles with the latter having some wear from use so that their original gold colour is diminished. The top surface of the set of drawers is in good condition, with some minor scratches and signs of wear and tear overall, but nothing that detracts from the overall look. One drawer runner has had a repair and works smoothly and sturdily.

The set of drawers has a width of 92cm (36in), is 68cm (27in) high, and has a depth of 43cm (17 in). We think with those proportions and these stylish good looks, it would look equally at home in an office, bedroom or living room, or even as a hallway piece.

This item may be collected by the buyer or courier service arranged after purchase. Please note, Conrah vases and bowl not included ;)
