eBay watch: 1980s clock and flip calendar

Posted on | Leave a comment

Perspex

It doesn't seem to have a brand attached to it, but this 1980s clock and flip calendar is both appealing and very useful.

The clock face is apparently made of black plastic, doing hours, minutes and seconds, as well as offering an alarm function. The flip calendar is…well, a flip calendar, as you would expect, sat alongside the clock and clad in that perspex casing.

The alarm clock is apparently in good condition and in full working order, with 'a few faint age related marks and scratches' on the Perspex casing. It also runs on a single AA battery. Right now, the price is at 99p.

Chocolate Alarm Clock at Flatspot

Posted on | 1 Comment

Chocolate

No, we don't get the name either, but we like the look of this Chocolate Alarm Clock at Flatspot.

It's a classic alarm clock, the kind of clock that used to wake you up in days gone by, before the world discovered the 'joys' of radio DJs shouting at you at 7am.

If you prefer a loud bell to Chris Moyles, you'll find it here, as well as a bold red and black design, metallic legs and a sweeping seconds hand to go with the contrasting grey hands for the hour and minutes. £20 is the price.

Spacelamp

Not sure of the make, the designer (if there is one) or the specific year, so let's just refer to this as 1970s space age alarm clock lamp.

The lampshade is apparently made of brushed aluminium with perforations on the top for ventilation, while the stem and base are made of chocolate brown plastic. That's not forgetting the digital alarm clock at the front of the base with a black face and a rectangular protective perspex screen, along with 'light up' green numbers.

It's described as being in 'very good condition' and in 'full working order', with a few age related marks – see the site if you want to know more about that. Right now, it's at just £1.20.
