Topic: Chance find for show.

Picked up this today, goes well with the black one, it is orange the flash makes it look red

Nice find as they're not very common. Strangely, the black ones always get a better price, even though the tangerine (according to catalogues) ones are less often seen. Great for the retro funky 1970s decor.

Thanks David although I wouldn't call our home funky 70s more 'weird victoriana' 

[David E]

Being named Psychedelic, they are good for the 1960s as well and were designed in 1969-70. My house is an eclectic mix of Victorian right up to modern so I'm not bothered!

It would look nice in my kitchen!

Don't tell me you haven't got one, I thought you had them all !

Hi, I bought an orange one a couple of weeks ago with a label in one of those antique and collectible shops in Suffolk. Very good price. Really pleased with it, i've wanted one for ages. I have 29 hankies on a big white shelf across my kitchen and had to choose one to store in the roof to make room for this one. Very hard decision! They do look lovely with all the different sizes and colours. They get a lot of interest from visitors. It's horrible putting things away but I can't bear to part with them either.    cheryl

Hello Cheryl, just out of interest I counted mine, would you believe 28 ! there is still the broken grid / mesh one but can't really count that one, 

[David E]

I'm not going to even start counting...

Oh I forgot I have three different sizes of the clear purple stripe on top of a cupboard in the kitchen too! And who knows how many in the roof.     Cheryl
