It's need of some work, but this Austin Mini Designer – Mary Quant Special Edition could be a collectible of the future.
It first appeared in 1989, Mary Quant designing the detail of the Mini including the badge and steering wheel with her trademark daisy, while the cloth for the seats even got her own distinctive twist.
I'm not sure the image above does this justice, so check out the full listing of this 1970s space age Atomium desk clock to see some close-up shots. It's an impressive thing.
With a case made of black and transparent perspex and a clock mechanism built into the base, the clock's hands are a mix of three-dimensional rings and chrome-plated balls. So how do you tell the time? Simple – you look down and see the time based on that structure and base. There's also a 'seconds' hand that (as you might guess) constantly moves, creating an object that's both practical and attention-grabbing.
It still works perfectly and is powered by a single AA battery. Unsurprisingly, there's already interest in this, but the bidding is still at just £21. A real bargain.
A great piece of vintage design – and this Hans Agne Jakobsson-designed pine ceiling lamp costs next to nothing right now.
Designed by Jakobsson in the 60s or possibly early 70s, it's a great midcentury-inspired piece, made of nine concentric pine laminates circles held by three vertical pine structures and organised so that they form a gap between each other. For the light to escape obviously.
Described as being in 'very good condition' and 'in full working order', it's currently available for just 99 pence.
Apologies for featuring a vintage radio for a second day in succession, but I'm sure you'll agree that this Braun RT 20 radio is something special.
Designed in 1961 by Dieter Rams, it has the looks to match any radio past or present, with LW, MW and FM reception and a rich sound from those inner valves.
Judging by the description, it's in very good condition for a radio of its age – which makes that current £51 price tag all the more appealing.
If the vintage looks of the Roberts Radio appeals, you might well like the look of this authentic classic that's now on eBay – the Bang & Olufsen Beolit 609FM radio.
The seller claims it is from the 70s, but it looks like a 60s design to us. Either way, it's got the look, no matter when it was made. We've not seen a better looking vintage radio in a long time.
The radio is in fully working condition, has FM, MW, LW and SW bands, individual control for bass and treble, two aerials and has a 'clean' battery compartment (no damage that is). All of that right now for just £16.63.
A 60s classic and as it stands, this Stelton Cylinda Line Coffee Set is a real giveaway.
Designed by Arne Jacobsen back in 1967 and still in production today, this particular set is described as 'old stock and genuinely unused', although it's worth noting that the tray and spoon are not Stelton, 'but the service was retailed in this way'.
Even so, this is an absolute bargain at its current £5.50 price. Check online for the price of the pieces new, that should show how much of a steal it really is.
