Vintage Ravensburger Dick Bruna Eskimo 8-piece Wood Tray Jigsaw

Jon Nix — Thu, 03 Aug 2023 13:45:58 +0000

As unmistakeable as it is charming, this is a Dick Bruna "Eskimo" jigsaw which was made by Ravensburger and is a simple puzzle for the smaller child. Comprising 8 pieces in a tray style, this typical Bruna illustration should find favour with the larger child and adult.

The puzzle measures approximately 10 in. by 7.5 in., and is in good condition overall with only very minor signs of age or use. There are a couple of small surface marks and pin holes to two of the corners, but otherwise it's good throughout.

1970s Orange and White Circular Plastic Desk Tidy / Pen Holder

Jon Nix — Mon, 31 Jul 2023 11:50:30 +0000

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.

A pair of charming vintage wooden tray jigsaws made by W. R. Kelly

Jon Nix — Tue, 04 Apr 2023 22:31:06 +0000

A pair of very charming tray style wooden jigsaw puzzles made by W.R. Kelly of Stonham Aspal, Suffolk. Each is a simplified and colourful depiction, one of a lorry and the other a steam ship, with six and five pieces respectively. Intended for the younger child, certainly. They look great on display and that's what would be envisaged their use now. Both have signs of age and wear, with the boat jigsaw having also some minor damage as well (see the photos for details). The lorry puzzle has a sticker on the reverse whilst the ship has a somewhat smudged stamp to its rear side.

Each puzzle measures approximately 7 inches (18cm) square.

Vintage Bentwood Desk “Pending” Paperwork Tray by Mallod c.1950s/1960s

Jon Nix — Tue, 16 Aug 2022 17:25:18 +0000

A very nice-looking vintage desktop paperwork tray in bentwood, made by Mallod, and dating from the 1950s or 1960s. This one has a very pleasing appearance with original cosmetic wear from use and a suitably vintage-looking red Dymo label attached to one side reading "PENDING". It's been cleaned and given a subtle wax to make the most of it, but otherwise left as is. There are signs of use and wear and tear throughout and there's a small chip to the underside near the front. It's not noticeable in normal use and it seems to have occurred some time ago so unlikely to worsen.

The tray measures 26.5cm by 36.5cm by 5.5cm (10½ in. by 14¼in. by 2¼in.)

Vintage Large Red Metal Floor Ash Bin / Ashtray

Jon Nix — Tue, 02 Aug 2022 09:45:32 +0000

Once upon a time, not so long ago... these were everywhere. Outside offices, cinems, restaurants, pubs. They were recognisable items of furniture almost, but obviously now are a relic of a time now past and gone. A large vintage metal cigarette ash bin or floor-standing ash tray in red with suitably demonstrative signage. And by large, we mean it's 30cm (12 in.) long, 16cm (6¼ in.) high and has a depth of 24cm (9½ in.)

In good condition considering it probably spent time outside in the elements - rust has been cleaned off carefully to leave a good balance of cleanliness and originality, the insides cleaned, the metal has been wiped down and a subtle wax finish added. It would make for a quirky piece of home decor (in either horizontal or vertical orientation) or might be a perfect fit for the collector of tobacciana who wants a slightly larger item in their collection!

Vintage Thermos Chrome and Black Bakelite Ice Bucket Cooler No. 923

Jon Nix — Sun, 20 Jun 2021 17:51:16 +0000

Made by Thermos, and dating from the 1950s, this small two-handled ice cooler bucket, is as striking as it is useful. The chromed design features bakelet handles to the sides and knob to the lid and a plastic inner basket. The seal is good and tight and the interior is nice and clean. Aside from a few minor surface scuffs, the exterior only has one flaw, a minor dent to the lid which is not immediately apparent unless closely examined. A very nice-looking item indeed - perfect for a vintage-inspired cocktail cabinet or bar.

The bucket has a diameter at the base of 10cm (4 in.) and around the rim of 16.5cm (6½ in.), and is approximately 15cm (6 in.) in height.

1950s-1960s Piero Fornasetti Pistols Metal Serving Tray

Jon Nix — Thu, 15 Oct 2020 13:08:27 +0000

In well-loved condition, by which it is meant that there are considerable signs of age, use, and wear and tear, this metal serving tray is nevertheless unmistakably a Piero Fornasetti design. Despite the condition, this remains a desirable example of the Italian designer, of its era and of its type.

It features - on the top surface - Fornasetti's trademark black and white illustrative style, depicting various pistols, revolvers, muskets and powder pouches, surrounded by an imitated rivet design, whilst the underneath is a faux wood effect. Both surfaces have significant wear and loss and some discoloration (please review photos carefully) and there is notable handling wear to one corner where the tray has been frequently held.

The tray is a rounded square approximately 33cm by 33cm (11 in. by 11 in.) with a depth of approximately 2cm (¾ in.).
