eBay watch: Original 1950s midcentury plant stand
A few of these appear on eBay and are always popular. But this original 1950s midcentury plant stand comes with a very low starting price.
Whether you use it for your plants or ornaments, it's still an eye-catching piece. The main triangular table is made of chipboard and finished with a cream Formica top with a gold and black plastic rim. The table also has three removable wooden feet placed at a slight angle, a wooden stem and three small platforms each made of chipboard with Formica tops.
The Plant Stand is described as being 'in very good vintage condition', with some 'age related scratches and marks' on the Formica tops, but nothing significant. Just 99p right now.
Exclusive Vintage jewellery from Rock’N’Rose
Though many modern jewellery shops have been taking inspiration from vintage items for many seasons now, there's nothing quite like the originals in looks and quality. UK jewellery brand Rock'N'Rose are now bringing us one of a kind pieces through their Exclusive Vintage range, alongside their own designs.
Sourcing individual pieces like clip-on earrings, rings and necklaces, each piece is pre-worn and roughly dated to their original eras. Assuring good condition and cleanliness, the vintage pieces are kept affordable too, with the earrings above retailing at £14.
Campbell’s Condensed Soup returns – in an original Warhol-style tin
Good news for food and art lovers – Campbell's Condensed Soup is back on the shelves.
Well, we say food lovers. Not everyone loves the stuff. But there's an added reason why we're getting excited over the return. The cans of soup are back in Tesco from this week, in a choice of Cream of Mushroom, Cream of Tomato, Cream of Chicken and Cream of Celery, plus a Low Fat Chicken and Low Fat Mushroom, with one in particular peaking our interest.
As you can see from the image above, the mushroom is the one to grab. It comes in the original 1960s-style tin, meaning it doubles up as a piece of Warhol-style art for your kitchen. In fact, at just 50p a tin, you can grab a pile of them for displaying, especially as they have a two-year plus sell-by date. But be warned – shelves of the vintage tin are already emptying fast.

eBay watch: 1958 Renault Dauphine car in original condition
At first glance, you might think this is one of the retro Nissan reissues like the Figaro or the Pao, but this is far older and out of France – the Renault Dauphine.
It dates back to 1958 and literally screams the era, not least because it looks largely unchanged since first hitting the road. It might well have been thrown back in time. Its amazing looks are perhaps down to it being dry stored in France for the last 30 years. Not just about the looks either, with the floor and chassis in 'excellent condition' and the 947c engine in 'perfect mechanical order'. Apparently 'everything works', according to the seller.
Things to note are it being left-hand drive, a tear being present on the driver's seat and a need for a 'very light respray' due to some blemishes on the bodywork. Not bad for 53 years. There is interest in it, but the price right now is still only £1,414.95. See the dashboard over the page or see the listing for a pile of images and more details.

If you want something a little more authentic than the recent reissue, check out this fully-restored Fiat 500 classic on eBay right now, which could prove a bargain if you get it at the right price.
The car dates back to 1967, a right-hand drive model with 499cc engine, soft top and a blue paint job matched up with a grey and cream interior, a one-off finish for the seller. According to the same seller, it has had a 'complete new brake system and many new parts' and comes with a year's MOT and tax.
An eye-catching car, that's for sure and on eBay right now at £3,000. The seller claims 'it cost me a lot more to put it on the road 4 years ago', which we can well believe.
