eBay watch: 1970s extra large Guzzini-style pendant lights

Posted on | Leave a comment

Guz

Yes, I know we did something similar yesterday and we do try to vary things when possible, but I've just spotted these 1970s extra large Guzzini-style pendant lights online, which are absolutely stunning.

According to the seller, this orange and white light fitting doesn't have a maker's label, but it does have that Guzzini 'look', as well as being a light fitting that screams the late '60s and 1970s. How big? 36cm wide and 30cm high, with 66cm of new wiring offered with it – yes, it's been rewired and is ready to be fitted.

Condition is 'very good / excellent' with 'just a few light marks' down to age. Not the cheapest light fitting at £149.99 on a 'buy it now', but ust try finding something on the high street with similar impact for a cheaper price.

eBay watch: 1970s Guzzini-style Herda table lamp

Posted on | Leave a comment

Herda

At first glance, you might think this is something from the Guzzini range of the 1970s. But it's actually the Herda table lamp.

Certain to be a European variation from a lesser-known brand, it's still an interesting piece and worth picking up for the right price. For your money, you'll get that period double-layered plastic brown shade (glowing yellow when lit), sat on a chromed metal base, which leaves the cord exposed to the bulb.

It stands 55cm tall and is described as being in 'excellent condition'. Right now, it's on eBay for just 1 pence.

eBay watch: 1960s Braun HL1 personal desk fan by Reinhold Weiss

Posted on | Leave a comment

Braun

Stylish 1960s modernism and no doubt practical too, especially at this time of year. The Braun HL1 personal desk fan that is.

The work of Reinhold Weiss in 1961, it still looks the part today – another example of Braun's forward-thinking design. The motor casing is made of off white plastic with a chrome rim separating the motor casing from the fan head. There is also a light grey plastic lever switch on the casing to select speed and a perspex casing to protect the blades.

The Desk Fan is in 'very good condition' and in 'full working order', as well as being priced quite reasonably right now. Bidding stands at £2.20.

eBay watch: 1970s Philips 22 GF 623 portable stereo record player

Philips

Once again, a portable turntable catches our eye, this time the Philips 22 GF 623 portable stereo record player.

Dating back to the 1970s (you might have guessed that), this is a three-speed player that's both portable and stylish, not least when the whole thing packs away into a cool orange 'briefcase'. See the listings for lots of pictures of that.

But once unpacked, this battery/mains player will play your 7 and 12-inch vinyl in glorious stereo. Well, stereo – not sure about glorious from an old portable player! Seller does sat 'very good sound though. Condition is 'very good', with just a few age scratches and of course, it's in working order. £24 is the current bid price.

Fiat500

If you want something a little more authentic than the recent reissue, check out this fully-restored Fiat 500 classic on eBay right now, which could prove a bargain if you get it at the right price.

The car dates back to 1967, a right-hand drive model with 499cc engine, soft top and a blue paint job matched up with a grey and cream interior, a one-off finish for the seller. According to the same seller, it has had a 'complete new brake system and many new parts' and comes with a year's MOT and tax.

An eye-catching car, that's for sure and on eBay right now at £3,000. The seller claims 'it cost me a lot more to put it on the road 4 years ago', which we can well believe.

eBay watch: Vintage Sirram complete picnic set

Posted on | Leave a comment

Picnic

If nothing else, we are at least topical. So on a warm day, we've found the perfect accessory – this vintage Sirram complete picnic set.

The seller's description isn't overly detailed, so I don't know if everything is original. I suspect it all is – it all fits and it all matches, which is always a good start. That includes two flasks, various containers, cups, cutlery and plates.

Condition looks good, with the possible exception of the case fasteners. They probably just need a good clean though. £35 is the current bid price.
