eBay Watch: Vintage robot lamp

Robot_lamp
Remember the robots off the Cadbury’s Smash ads? Well, there’s a lamp that looks very much like one on eBay right now.

This vintage robot lamp has rather vague details from the French seller, but we are told that this is ’60s or 70s’ and is made of a metal/chrome mix, with hard plastic legs. And it works by opening the mouth – the wider you open, the brighter the light.

It’s obviously caught the imagination, with the price around £70 with seven days left. But if you get it, you can safely assume no-one else will have one.
