Vintage Mobo Toys Desk D Sebel & Co Ltd Made in England
Mobo items are becoming harder to source. This is one of those nice old things we truly can't make out minds up whether or not to keep. Anyway, have a peep at the photos.
Harlequin melamine cups, saucers and sideplates.
We buy quite a lot of bits and pieces for our imaginary VW camper van!
These were a nice find and looked very attractive on one of our shelves, but we buy so many bits and bobs, we run out of storage space for the new stuff. The time eventually comes for passing these onto someone who can actually use them in a VW camper.
Vintage Old Hall English stainless steel Toast Rack & glass butter & jam dishes
It holds four slices and there are two decorative frosted-glass dishes for your butter and preserves. The handle is just off-parallel, not major but only polite to point it out. There is a chip to an inner edge of one of the dishes, which isn't too noticeable due to the frosted glass, there are little pinpicks and small bubbles here and there in the glass. The base of the rack is approx 24 cm (9.5 inches) by 12.5 cm (5 inches). Height is approx 10 cm (4 inches) to top of the handle. Underneath, maker's mark states "18 / 8 Stainless Steel, Old Hall, England". Underneath is showing signs of age and there seems to be a little tarnishing or staining around the maker's mark where a price label was removed - this is tiny and looks worse in the photo than it is. Overall, with stated is in VERY GOOD condition. Please ask any questions you might have.
We dont have this listed on Etsy yet, but if you want it, convo or tweet @collectini and we'll list it. If you are known to us we'll arrange meet and collect.

Retro Radio Biscuit Tin
Retro vintage style radio biscuit tin lunch box with handle. Carry stuff, store stuff or just display with style!
This is a really fab looking item which is both ornamental and functional.
You can display it in practically any room in the house. And what about it's uses? Well it is a biscuit tin, or you can use it as a lunch box, and I have even seen these being used for storing make up or carrying your bits and pieces around town. It also makes for great general storage around the home. The handle pushes down against the body. Body of box measures approx 10 by 7 by 4 inches (approx 25 by 17.5 by 10 cm).
