eBay watch: Vintage TV collection

Posted on | Leave a comment

Vintage

Not just one old TV, this a collection of four vintage televisions.

If you want to get up close and personal, see the listing page for larger images of all the sets, all of which are described as being in 'excellent' condition, with the odd bit of discolouration and some wear through age. But nothing serious, with all the sets working.

For your money, you get a Philips G17T320-02, stood on that tulip base, along with the JVC Videosphere, complete with base and hanging chain, a Sony 9-90UB TV from 1969 and that orange Loewe TV from the early 1970s. Bidding stands at £399.

Lotta-kuhlhorn-luna-trivet 
Lotta Kühlhorn, whose apple patterned products we’ve highlighted in the past, has a new pattern that appears on products including this Luna Trivet.

The Luna design combines her love of 1950’s geometric patterns with suitable retro colours. The trivet itself is a handy little item, being the ideal size to rest your smaller pans or teapot on, or to use a chopping board.

It costs £17.95 from Hus and Hem, where you can also buy coasters in the same print for £13.95

eBay watch: Reissued Harvey Guzzini Sorella space age table lamp by Nemo

Posted on | 3 Comments

Sor1

Not the first time we've featured the design, as the Sorella table lamp by Harvey Guzzini has been something of a space age holy grail in the past. Not so anymore, as Nemo has bought the rights to this classic 1970s lamp and is selling official reissues right now.

Which essentially means much the same lamp for a fraction of the cost – these angled lamps tended to go for hundreds on eBay on good condition. If you aren't familiar with the Sorella, you don't watch enough old films and TV – this 1972 'Studio Tecnico Harvey' design featured prominently in the likes of Space 1999 and James Bond's Moonraker and still retains that futuristic look today.

Best of all with the new ones is the colour, no age discolouration here and of course, all the electrics will be checked and ready to go. Not too many sellers around in the UK, but Glasgow-based Spatial Lighting are official Nemo dealers and have stock of the new light right now, which they are selling at a fixed price online via eBay. A little cheaper than most too at £120. See the lamp 'in action' in Space 1999 over the page.

eBay watch: Grand Star GS-969 space age flip clock radio

Posted on | Leave a comment

Grand1

Not just a stylish piece of early 1970s space age design, this Grand Star GS-969 flip clock radio also comes with its original packaging and instructions.

Apparently dating from 1974, it's described as a 'fully functioning' flip clock and alarm with AM/FM radio and the option to illuminate (should you need a time check in the night). All topped off with that deep orange outer, very reminiscent of the era. That's good enough. But also included is the original box, internal packaging, instructions and original earpiece. Impressive.

There are 'very minor blemishes', presumably through age, but apart from that, all is well and good. See that packaging over the page and if you fancy this, the bidding currently stands at just £1.

Update: The seller also seems to have one for sale in white too. Check that out here.
