tiny - Anything In Particular https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product-tag/tiny/ From antique to vintage, from decorative to downright bizarre.

The book is in good condition considering these origins and although it is rather fragile, it appears to be complete. You'll probably need a magnifying glass to read any of the pages, though!

]]> Dinky “Displayette” clear plastic display shelf https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product/dinky-displayette-clear-plastic-display-shelf/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=dinky-displayette-clear-plastic-display-shelf Thu, 02 Nov 2017 18:01:19 +0000 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=1238 Back in the 1950s and 1960s Britain was a front runner in the world of engineering and design and we made things like this <record skip>. Err, we made things like this? Apparently, we did indeed make the "Displayette".  This is a small display shelf fixable to a wall via four small nails to provide an almost invisible support for items you wish to show off.  Think knick-knacks... small ones!

It's an unusual retro item, to be sure, complete, and with a box measuring 82x15mm (3¼ by ¾in). There is minor box and paperwork tear but otherwise it's in good condition. Apparently, once constructed, the "Displayette" measures 8cm by 8.5cm by 1.5cm (3 by 3¼ by ¾in).

"I say, how dinky!"

]]> Four Bug House Enamel Pin Cards https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product/four-bug-house-enamel-pin-cards/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=four-bug-house-enamel-pin-cards Thu, 17 Aug 2017 11:13:18 +0000 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=377 These tiny cards, measuring just 5cm by 4cm (2in by 1¾in), are made by The Bug House and date from the 1960s. Each features an enamel pin animal in a setting illustrated on the card:

- a tortoise on a sailing boat
- a penguin skiing
- an ant on an elephant
- a "Scottie" dog on a cat

Supplied with a suitably miniscule envelope, they are very appealing and overflow with cuteness.  A quirky and charming gift or just to keep for yourself and make you smile!
