eBay watch: 1960s space age round television

Posted on | 3 Comments

Round

I'm not sure if this is a variation of the Keracolor Sphere, so let's just say this is a 1960s space age round television. It's also on eBay right now.

Does it work? Probably not, not least because of the advent of the digital era. The seller bought it for display purposes and it has been in storage, with no guarantee of it being functional. Note that, but note also that you can probably replace the actual TV in the shell, which has apparently already been done for this unit.

That shell is in white fibreglass, with a tulip-style base. Some minor damage, but not a lot. So a striking design piece or a project. It's currently on eBay at £100. Lots more images on the seller's page.

eBay watch: 1972 Triumph GT6 sports car

Posted on | Leave a comment

Gt6

A real gem from Triumph's past, with this Triumph GT6 sports car available on eBay right now.

It's a fine example too. Dating from 1972, it's really been looked after, tax and MOT in place and with plenty of servicing and upgrades over the years, right down to fresh oil and some anti-freeze recently added. See the selling page for a full breakdown.

There's 94,000 on the clock, interior is described as 'good'  and it's a real head-turner, that's for sure. Only thing worth mentioning on the downside is that the care has been off the road for over 15 years, but is 'ready to use' now, according to the seller. If you want it, you'll need to beat the current top bid of £2,350.

eBay watch: Pashley Princess bicycle

Posted on | Leave a comment

Pashley

This retails for around £550 when sold new, so right now, this Pashley Princess bicycle is a potential bargain.

It's a decent example of this vintage-styled gem too, not perfect, but perfectly serviceable. It's a three-speed in Regency Green with a 20-inch frame size, hub brakes, ding dong bell, Brooks Saddle and recent Michelin World Tour Amber Wall Tyres.

On the downside, the frame is scratched in quite a few places and the outer black plastic covers on the various cables are damaged. Aside from that, it's just fine. Right now, it's at £69.

Porsche

A real gem on eBay right now – this 1969 Porsche 912.

Its appeal lies in its originality. There are likely to be some that are around in better condition, but this one is pretty much as it was in the late 60s. According to the seller, the exterior is 'presentable', chrome is in 'good condition', while door tops, over riders  and trim are 'all very nice'.

Other details include original 5-inch chrome wheels and caps, original headlights and turn signals, an interior that's 'complete' and some original documentation, if that's important to you. £6,101 is the current price.

Kartell

A lovely design and one that's no longer in production – but this Carlo Santi lamp by Kartell could be yours via eBay.

Designed in 1972, it's described as a floor or side lamp, standing around 60cm tall. The base is tubular steel, the shade is plastic and according to the seller, the original item is in 'very good condition' with 'only marginal signs of wear'. It also works, most importantly.

Loads of images on the seller's page. If you want it, the lamp is on a 'buy it now' for £290 or you can make an offer.

eBay watch: 1970s Guzzini iGuzzini table lamp

Posted on | Leave a comment

Guz1

I probably don't need to tell you the era of this Guzzini iGuzzini table lamp, the design pretty much tells you.

Yes, we're in the space age era of the early 1970s, with a dome shade that's hinged on both sides to attach to a curved base, with both shade and base made of sheet metal with a white painted finish. That hinge also means you can adjust the amount of light given out too.

It's described as being in 'good' condition, with some age-related marks and scratches on the white lacquer, but not to the point of severely diminishing the design. Want it? Right now bidding is at £1.20.
