1980s Tomy Tomytime Chunky Changers Orange and White Cow Shape

Jon Nix — Tue, 06 Oct 2020 11:25:48 +0000

A little bit cute, a little bit strange and a little bit plastic. The Tomy ("Tomytime") Chunky Changers were a range of plastic toys aimed at the younger child which were characterised by their colourful simple shapes which were capable of being transformed into various other figures or objects. Amongst the range were vehicles and animals, the latter of which this is one - the cow (or bull, perhaps). This Chunky Changer transforms from a rectangular block of orange and white into a recognisable cow, complete with ears, tail and legs. The cow also has googly-eyes and a small air hole at the back which, when blown into, emits a rather curious moo-like sound! Okay, it's actually more like a kazoo... it's cute, anyway, trust me!

The un-transformed Chunky Changer measures approximately 7.5cm by 3.5cm by 6cm (3 in. by 1¼in. by 2¼in.). It's in relatively good condition, considering, with some minor surface wear and tear and some ageing to the original orange and white colours - the white now more of a cream tone and the orange less bold than it would have been.

Rectangular Modernist Sadler Jug Vase in Moss Green (Form 168)

Jon Nix — Mon, 28 Oct 2019 20:10:47 +0000

A very strikingly "different" jug vase from Sadler. Well known for their more traditional shapes, this vase is anything but that, with its rectangular form, "bobble" and "ribbing" textures and uncompromising styling. If a pottery vase can be brutal or modernist, then this one can make the claim. In a moss green colour with square rim and handle, the vase measures 11.5cm (4½ in.) in width, 7.5cm (3 in.) in depth and is 13cm (5¼ in.) high. The vase is in good condition with only very minor and superficial signs of age and wear. There are a couple of minor grazes which are only noticeable under very close inspection.

Jon Nix — Fri, 27 Jul 2018 21:44:30 +0000

A very attractive and Art Deco-influenced Smiths mantel clock with an eight-day wind and four jewels. The rectangular dark wood casing and numerals are offset by the clock's contrasting blonde face. The clock keeps good time and is fully working with only minor signs of wear and tear (a few nibbles to the wood and some minor rusting to the movement housing at the rear.)

A handsome piece and a large statement - it measures 24cm (8½ in.) across, is 17cm (6½ in.) in height and front to back measures 8cm (3¼in.) including movement housing.
