eBay watch: Original 1970s Pan Am shoulder bag

Panam

Yes, you can find copies and reissues, but this is an original 1970s Pan Am shoulder bag – and original is always best.

Described as '100% old vintage original', it is sold in 'above average condition', with any wear from storage rather than use. The zip (which works) has the PAA Logo on it and the shape is certainly distinctive, complete with what looks like an extendable strap.

Cheap enough too – just £1.29 right now.

eBay watch: 1970s Guzzini Sorella space age table lamp

Sorella

Look familiar? Well, if you happen to be a fan of either Space 1999 or James Bond's Moonraker, the Guzzini Sorella space age table lamp probably does.

It was set item of choice for 70s 'space' TV and movies and you can see why this 1972 design by Studio Tecnico Harvey fit the bill – even now the angled light looks seriously ahead of its time.

Rarely seen on eBay, this particular example has no chips to the plastic and is sold with the original cord and switch. Slight discolouration with age as you might expect from plastic though. Currently starting at £125, that's a fraction of the price they usually go for on eBay. See over the page for a shot of the light on Space 1999 – and thanks to Andrew Graham for the tip off.

eBay watch: 1970s Bang & Olufsen Beolit 707 radio

Bang

No matter what era you go for, you'll always get a slightly futuristic feel from any Bang & Olufsen design throughout the years, including this Bang & Olufsen Beolit 707 radio.

This particular transistor radio was made in Denmark between 1976 – 1981, but you would never guess that. Ok, it's not got a digital display like a modern radio, but everything else, right down to those blue side panels, could be from the modern era.

But what you do get is that Bang & Olufsen quality, described as being in 'fully working condition' and 'with fantastic sound for a portable radio'. It's even been cleaned and serviced. All you need are the batteries and you're. Plus the cost of buying it – right now that's £15.96.

eBay watch: 1960s Limburg 6047 glass table lamp

Linberg

Here's something you'll not see everyday – the Limburg 6047 glass table lamp.

The product of the Limburg Glashütte glass factory and made sometime between 1960 and 1970s, it's an amazing design, as much sculpture as functional object and the kind of thing you might expect to see in an early 60s sci-fi flick.

Described as being in 'good used condition', it's up on a 'Buy It Now' for £300, with the option of making an offer too if you want to go in under that. Not cheap – but when will you see one again?
