eBay watch: 1970s Heath digital super clock

Heath

An interesting design that still catches the eye 35 years after it was introduced – this Heath digital super clock.

It's apparently a 1976 design, with a teak case and a bold digital display, with each orange digital number 'the size of a cigarette box' on a black background. There are also controls on the back for setting the time, with mains offering the power.

The seller claims it is, 'very well-tended, hardly used or probably unused', with little or no signs of age. A few bids on this right now, but the price is still only £6.64, albeit with some days to go.

eBay watch: 1970s chrome and teak coat rack

70s_hanger

A relic from a bygone era, but this 1970s chrome and teak coat rack is still a very stylish object.

Made up of 13 hexagonal pieces of wood, finished with a teak laminate, it also has a top shelf and removable chrome hooks and a metal backing structure keeping everything in place. There's also four metal brackets to fix it to the wall.

According to the seller, it is in 'good condition' but with a chip in the teak laminate on one of the wood cutouts. There are also small chips on the wooden batons forming the top shelf, but overall, hardly noticeable. Especially when you factor in the current £12.54 price.
