Who doesn't like a desk tidy? We certainly like them, and this one is a nice example of the sort, made in Hong Kong and dating from the 1970s. It's a circular plastic tidy which has a diameter of about 13cm and a height of 5.5cm, with four compartments in the body which pull out on single hinges, four tray sections on top, and a central pen holder. Typically orange and white colours (though the white is somewhat cream now), this makes a pleasing addition to a desktop. Please note, pens, pencils, rubber bands, etc., pictured are not included.

Vintage Novelty Heinz Baked Beans Pencil Case

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.).
