2 vintage ice buckets made in England one Insulex and one Embee - just right for the party!

The Insulex is the one with the round knob. I understand these were manufactured in the 1960s, they are both showing their age a bit with expected scuffing and other wear. Ideal if you are having a big party on a limited budget.

We dont have these listed on Etsy yet, but if you want them, convo or tweet @collectini and we'll list them. If you are known to us we'll arrange meet and collect.

Vintage 1980s clock

vintage 1980s clock

Clock made in England, movement is from Japan. Simple, clean design plastic clock which will appeal to anyone who is going after the 1980s look in their home or office. Nice, bright hands in primary colours. You will need one AA battery. Dimensions are near enough 25.5cm diameter by 4cm deep. Clock face is a very dark grey - almost black. The surround is a light grey. There are some very minor light scuffs to the window, and a couple of minor edge knocks at the rear of the surround.  These minor faults, which are expected with a used item this age, are barely noticeable but only fair to point them out. Overall condition with stated is VERY GOOD.

For a good old-fashioned sing-song! 

Vintage songs "The Forties" 1940s music songbook

The Forties

"The world went back to war in the Nineteen Forties. As usual the troops, and the families and friends they left behind, had music to keep them company. Love songs, torch songs, songs to help you remember and some to help forget. And when it was all over, there were songs to help in the celebrations."

Large softcover, songbook for voice and piano with chord names for guitar. This is a fantastic selection of songs from the era, and will be a great addition to the collections of vintage lifestyle enthusiasts, music societies, re-enactment groups and more. As well as the songs, there are 25 preliminary full page iconic images from the era. A little corner curling otherwise in VERY GOOD condition. See the images below of the blurb and the contents.

2 Vintage poodle ornaments

Two lovely poodle ornaments, probably from the 1950s. These look and feel like wood, though there is a seam up the middle, so could possibly be made from a very good wood substitute.
The big one stands about nearly 8 inches tall. The little one is about 3.25 inches tall. Not entirely flat on the bottom (there might have been a label or something on the base??), so when placed on the mantelpiece they wobble for a second, but do sit up straight.
There are a couple of minor expected marks, but overall condition is VERY GOOD.
