Vintage 1980s White Philips D3112 Cube Digital Clock Radio

Jon Nix — Mon, 04 Dec 2023 12:32:23 +0000

The cube-shaped bedside digital clock radio is perhaps one of the most "1980s" of all home appliances. Almost every audio electronics manufacturer made one and this one is the offering of Philips, initially the D3110 and later the D3112. It's a 12cm rounded cube of plastic with all of the features you'd expect, some nice design detailing, and the sort of looks that would match your 1980s bedroom. It has a three-band radio (FM/LW/MW), dual alarms, wake to radio or buzzer, slumber option, snooze ("repeat" alarm) and classic red digit display. It also has a decent sound from the speakers.

This one is in good condition albeit that the white plastic has some slight yellowing, which is not uncommon for these items. There are no chips or cracks to the plastic casing and everything functions as it should.,

A pottery piggy bank, which dates from the 1970s and is unmistakeably an Arthur Wood piece, though no sticker is attached. The stylised floral design is hand painted in white and orange tones onto a deep plum/purple ground and the piece has the model number "5272" in gold to the base. Also on the base is the original plastic stopper.

The piggy bank measures approximately 22cm long, 12cm tall and 8.5cm wide. It's in good condition with just some surface grazes and minor wear from use, but no chips or cracks.

Vintage Anglepoise Lighting Model 99 Gooseneck Desk Lamp in White

Jon Nix — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 11:36:17 +0000

A very appealing Model 99 Gooseneck Desklamp made by Anglepoise with that very distinctive shade shape. Already one of our favourite desklamps, and in many ways now a classic, in our opinion. Very functional and good-looking and with minimal loss of space. Perfect for a small desk or corner illumination. This one is predominantly white with black accents to the base, gooseneck and switch.

Overall in very good condition, with only some signs of wear and age, notably some minor surface loss / scrapes. These are less significant when in actual use and the lamp displays well and is an attractive desk light as well as highly practical.

1950s Black and Cream Sgraffito Table Lamp Stand

Jon Nix — Mon, 04 Sep 2023 15:09:09 +0000

An unusual table lamp stand, not only in the sense that it features a very attractive black and cream sgarffito design and elegant shape, but also in the sense that it is a survivor. Solid but made from a relatively delicate material, possibly a chalk variant, it's done very well to remain mostly intact. It dates from the 1950s and probably has its origins on the continent of Europe, possibly Spain.

The stand measures 28cm up to the bulb holder with a base diameter of just over 8cm. There are signs of age and use throughout and some minor losses, but in this particular case it just adds to the charm of the item. Almost certainly when it was first made it was a brighter white, but it has aged to a cream tone.

Please note:, this is only the lamp stand, no shade is provided.

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.

Vintage Red Microlite Telescopic Desk Light

Jon Nix — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 11:54:34 +0000

Good things come in little packages, and this vintage "Microlite" telescopic desk light in red body colour is no exception. In very good cosmetic condition, this lamp features two levels of illumination ("DIM" and "HI"), a very compact form and footprint, and a highly adjustable telescopic head. It's not only a practical light for illuminating small spaces but it's a good-looking object in itself which takes up very little space when folded in on itself or when the telescopic neck is retracted.

It is fully functional, has only a few signs of wear and tear, no chips or cracks to the plastic, and very little tarnishing to the metal neck. The white body still retains a good colour, unlike some examples of this particular lamp which sometimes have turned into a darker cream colour. The label on the underside has some pen marks on it from a previous owner.

Vintage White Maclamp No. 8 Desk Lamp designed by Terence Conran

Jon Nix — Tue, 13 Jun 2023 13:45:53 +0000

An iconic design and a highly sought after lamp because of its versatility and good looks in almost any situation, this is the No. 8 Maclamp designed by Terence Conran. Initially conceived as a wood and metal structure, this later model - dating from the 1960s to the 1970s - features plastic arms with integrated cable guides, a plastic covered cast base and metal shade, but the fundamental design is the same. And it just looks good.

This one is in good overall condition. There are some signs of age and use throughout and some surface losses around the rim of the shade and a small dent to it. The base was not in very good condition and has been sanded and re-sprayed with white enamel and given a gloss finish. It's not perfect when closely inspected, but the repair has given back the lamp its good looks, as the original base was distractingly worse for wear.

The lamp is full working order and has an inline switch on the cable and a UK three-pin plug. As always, buyers are advised to perform a safety check of electrical equipment in the environment within which it is to be used.

Small White Gooseneck Desk Lamp by Maclamp for Habitat – 1970s

Jon Nix — Sun, 11 Jun 2023 11:13:30 +0000

A very cool looking small desk lamp made by Maclamp (designed by Terence Conran most likely) in a rather space-age style with a mostly white finish - the shade being metal and the base having a plastic cover - and a black gooseneck. The lamp has an unusual button position and style too, and it has a very minimalist aesthetic overall - clean lines, no fuss.

This one is in good working order and in generally good condition except for some small scratches to the shade and some minor surface losses to the rim of the shade and to the back of it. The base is in good shape aside from a couple of grazes to the plastic, and there is little in the way of discoloration which is always good. All in all, it's a good-looking lamp with understated appeal.

The lamp measures approximately 38 cm (15 in.) in height when the neck is fully extended. The base has a diameter of about 13cm (5¼ in.) and the black gooseneck section is 24cm (9½ in.) in length. The cable (UK plug) is approximately 180cm (71 in.) in length. The lamp holder takes a large bayonet bulb.

1980s Tomy Tomytime Chunky Changers Triangle / Train No. 1055

Jon Nix — Mon, 17 Apr 2023 12:20:39 +0000

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, and this one is of the former variety. This Chunky Changer transforms from a multi-coloured triangle into a high-speed style train, complete with overhead electric section and coupling.

The un-transformed Chunky Changer measures approximately 7.5cm by 3.5cm by 6cm (3 in. by 1¼in. by 2¼in.). It's in good condition, considering, with some minor surface wear and tear and some ageing to the original white colours.

The plate is a truncated slightly oval affair with curved handle-like forms on each end whilst the cup has a deep red interior and sits off-centre in the plate providing room for sandwiches (or biscuits!).

The plate meassures approximately 24cm (9½ in.) in length with a maximum width of approximately 23cm (8¾ in.). The cup has a rim diameter of 9cm (3½ in.) and a height of 6cm (2¼ in.). Both are in good vintage condition with no chips or cracks butthere is some crazing to the glazes as to be expected, and some minor marks/discolouration to the underside of the plate.
