Limited edition The Prisoner eight poster set by Piper Gates Design

Posted on | Leave a comment

Pris1

We have featured both Piper Gates Design and its artwork for The Prisoner before, but this is something worth mentioning – a set of eight posters featuring The Prisoner, the sets limited to a run of 50.

As you can (or might remember), the artwork is a mix of The Prisoner and vintage Penguin books, combining to create something eye-catching and retro. This particular set features eight designs on posters measuring 30 x 40cm, printed on high quality 200 gram paper and in those limited numbers.

You can buy a set online via eBay for the rather tasty price of just £12.99. See some close-ups over the page.

Posted on | Leave a comment

Vintage

Not just one old TV, this a collection of four vintage televisions.

If you want to get up close and personal, see the listing page for larger images of all the sets, all of which are described as being in 'excellent' condition, with the odd bit of discolouration and some wear through age. But nothing serious, with all the sets working.

For your money, you get a Philips G17T320-02, stood on that tulip base, along with the JVC Videosphere, complete with base and hanging chain, a Sony 9-90UB TV from 1969 and that orange Loewe TV from the early 1970s. Bidding stands at £399.
