1980s Pink Sony Cube Clock Radio Melody Alarm ICF-A10L

Jon Nix — Mon, 01 Nov 2021 10:28:59 +0000

Another slice - or rather cube - of typical 1980s design, this is the Sony ICF-10AL clock radio alarm which features an analogue quartz clock alongside the three-band radio. The cube design with pale pink body and grey and white accents is classic eighties, whilst it doesn't lack some clever functionality. One example of this is that the alarm time is set via the rotating outer bezel which moves an internal indicator around the face into the desired position. The radio operates independently of the clock and boasts FM/AM and MW options and a decent sound, and it can be set as the source for the alarm. The "buzzer" on this model is, in fact, a melody - the clock will play a passable section of Vivaldi's "Four Seasons". A sleep function and dial illumination are also available via buttons on the top of the unit.

In good condition considering its age and use, the Sony ICF-10AL has a little discolouration to the rear and to the two pink buttons on the top of the unit from light exposure but otherwise it's in good shape with no chips or cracks. It is fully functional and takes 3 x "AA" batteries or can be powered by a 3V AC adaptor. It measure 11 cm square x 8 cm deep (4 1/2 in. and 2 1/4 in. respectively)

French Art Nouveau Design Leather Clutch Bag by Brevete

Jon Nix — Fri, 18 Sep 2020 10:59:53 +0000

A leather clutch bag with Art Nouveau design made by Brevete of France, and which most likely dates back to the period, making this a genuine antique. The lightly tooled design was originally painted - there are now-faded remnants of colours, pink and green - and features typical flower motifs against a darker background and it has been monogrammed with the letters "NW". The bag also features a suitably-designed clasp with an orange circular raised "button" in a plastic-type material forming part of the decoration. The underside of the metal half ring which opens and closes the clasp bears the name "Brevete".

The bag has been repaired in several places in its long history, most recently by us to stabilise and make good the outer binding which runs across the edges of the bag and the flap. An interior fabric compartment would benefit from some attention to re-attach one corner of it to the bag, but the main leather divider inside the bag is in good shape. There are considerable signs of age and wear to the bag, but the leather has been re-conditioned and feels good, and structurally the bag feels sound. The handle is similarly sturdy and feels suitable for continued use.

The bag measures approximately 26cm (10¼ in.) by 16cm (6¼ in.) and without contents is about 2cm (¾ in.) deep, with the sides able to expand to approximately 5cm (2 in.).

Vintage Pale Pink Gooseneck Desk or Bedside Lamp Perforated Shade

Jon Nix — Wed, 16 Sep 2020 19:23:53 +0000

Sometimes attributed to Hala Zeist, though more likely a variation on the Maclamp model TL33, this iconic-shaped desk or bedside lamp features a perforated conical shade and brass gooseneck. Dating from the 1970s, it is presented in a very pale pink tone and is in good condition with only minor signs of wear and tear. The shade, perforated in two places (stars near the open end and circular holes near the closed rear), is notable in that it has retained a very good shape. The circular base houses a centrally located simple on-off push switch in white. An uncommon lamp, in an unusual colour, and in very presentable condition to boot.

The lamp measures approximately 38cm (15 in.) high with the neck fully extended, the neck itself is about 26cm (10 in.) in length, and the lamp base is approximately 13cm (5 in.) in diameter.

Vintage Bronco Sofrol Toilet Tissue Paper (Pink)

Jon Nix — Wed, 16 Sep 2020 13:55:45 +0000

Something a little bit different! For those who want the "vintage" theme to run to every room of the house, no matter how small, or for collectors of product packaging, here is an original and unopened twin pack of "Sofrol" toilet rolls made by Bronco, dating most likely from the 1960s. The outside packaging is of a smooth paper and in good condition and the pink and blue colours have retained their brightness. The contents are - it is presumed - pristine.

1969 Yellow Pride Creations Mouse Money Box Bank

Jon Nix — Sun, 23 Aug 2020 13:56:28 +0000

A charming money bank/money box made by Pride Creations in the late 1960s. The yellow mouse with relief details is handpainted in black, white, pink and red, and appears to be of chalk construction. Probably best now used as an ornament, the money bank does, however, come with its original stopper and therefore could continue in its original role.

This one does have a few signs of age and wear, most noticeably some nibbles to its left ear, a chip to the base, and some cracks/crazing to the paintwork. However, it feels sturdy and solid in the hand, and these signs of use add to its vintage character. It doesn't feel like they are going to deteroriate further.

The bank measures approximately 13cm (5 in.) in height, is approximately 11.5cm (4½ in.) long, and is 9cm (3½ in.) at its widest.

Jon Nix — Fri, 09 Mar 2018 09:52:24 +0000

Of no great age, we reckon that this model Pink Cadillac would nonetheless make a super display or decorative item or a quirky gift for the fan of Americana. Without its box or stand, the model is in good condition bar a couple of defects (a cracked windscreen and a re-glued wiper) and it certainly makes an impact.

Dimensions: 33cm x 11.5cm x 8cm (13 in x 4½ in x 3¼ in).

“Sailors Farewell” Crown Devon Fieldings China Mug

Jon Nix — Thu, 23 Nov 2017 22:32:09 +0000

This large cup or mug was made by Crown Devon Fieldings of Stoke on Trent (stamp present on the underneath of the cup) and features the Sailor's Farewell motto. One side of the piece is printed with the words "SAILORS, FAREWELL / Sweet, oh Sweet is that sensation / Where two hearts in union meet; / But the pain of separation, / Mingles bitter with the sweet." The other side reads "Far from Home across the Sea / To Foreign climes I go. / While far away O think on me, / And I'll remember you." Similar items date from the Edwardian/early 20th Century and we've no reason to think this one is different - the maker's stamp is indicative of a piece made in that time period.

The cup is handpainted over a basic pink lustre ground and shows a scene of a sailor leaving his wife and children to go to sea. In good condition throughout with no chips or cracks, although there is some crazing to the glaze, which is not uncommon for china of this age and there is a slight linear depression in the glaze underneath the verse (see photos). Otherwise, you'd have to say this is in very good shape.
