eBay watch: 1970s modernist wall clock

Posted on | Leave a comment

Modernist

Very distinctive and very much of its era – this 1970s modernist wall clock.

Produced by the London Clock Company, it has a futuristic 1970s look, aided by a face that's 'industrial brushed' plated sheet metal, with cube markers made of matt black plastic. There's also a German mechanism inside to keep it ticking over (alongside a single battery).

The seller claims it is in 'excellent condition' and 'good accurate working order', although the bottom left hand corner has a 'tiny impact dent' that is 'barely visible at all'. Fancy it? Bidding stands at £12.95.

Looking for a project as winter approaches? This 1972 Citroen DS could be it.

Not as sharp as the 1969 version we featured a while back, but this isn't in the same condition. Not that we're writing it off – the car still has a lot going for it – and is ready to go if you want it for the daily commute.

Astro

We have featured one of these in the past, but as this G-Plan Astro coffee table is going cheap right now, it is well worth flagging up once more.

It's one of the classics from the G-Plan golden age, a coffee table made in the midcentury style back in the 1960s, with this curved wood frame made of teak, topped off with a safety glass surface.

British-made (and to a high standard), this Astro coffee table is currently at a bargain £1.24.

Beetle

Not just an old Beetle, this is a 1970s Herbie-styled Volkswagen Beetle.

Specifically, this is a 1973 VW Beetle with a 1.3 engine, complete with the  paint job inspired by the classic Herbie movies, which of course kicked off with the 1968 Love Bug movie.

According to the seller, the car has done 73,000 miles and has been taxed and tested. It's also described as a 'good runner and driver'. The price is £2,500, with lots of images on the sales page.

I've seen the larger versions of this Guzzini Clan table lamp on offer for seriously high prices. So right now, this one is something of a bargain.

The work of the company's in-house Studio 6G design team and produced from 1968 through to 1977, this is the larger version of the lamp, large enough to be used as a floor lamp if you wish, with a height of 51cm and a diameter of 46cm.

A space age classic and right now, at just £2.
