Retro kitchenware and household items

[turbo500]

Bill, I'm not sure about "As Time Goes By", but I believe Hyacinth's kettle was white and cordless, not cream? This style/shape of kettle was very popular for a long time over here.

All the appliances are looking great. Sometimes retro appliances gives fabulous look to your Kitchen design.

Excellent Collection! We have an Ivory GPO 8746 in the bedroom, I've got a trimfone lying around somewhere, and I got my mum a Green 8746 a few years ago but it doesnt work now.

I do pick up old phone at carboot sales if they are cheap enough. My mum collects old food tins too.

I got rid of a lot of vintage appliances a couple of years ago - largely because most of them were broken. I do have a vintage hand mixer somewhere, still in its box, a Philips one, I think. I'll need to look it out, I think!

Great pictures guys!

I would love to collect some vintage kitchenware, but that isn't possible right now. One day though, one day!

I love the look of that Viscount!
I need to get myself one of them as I am a bit of a BT fan.
I have a large collection compromising of around 160BT Phonecards and I regularly try to add to it via eBay. And I have a small small appliance collection including a Kenwood Chef A701A, an 80s Phillips iron and some other bits & bobs.
Also I collect a certain type of pottery, I don't know what the range name is as I only have one pot from it but my grandparents have lots of plates and bowls in the design. Its a Pyrex set with little red and green squares which I have been told is from the 80s and came from coupons at a petrol station possibly???
Any information about it would be appreciated.

Here is a picture...

Jacob, if you are a BT fan then look what I found!

(I got the picture from the internet, but mine looks just like it.)

Nice! I think that is a BT Statesman but I could be wrong. Where did you get it from Joe?

 

[ultimatevacman]

Yes, it is indeed a BT Statesman. I got it from a house my parents bought, they didn't buy it to live in it, they bought it to rent out, and the people who it was being rented to had moved out, so I went down there, and there it was!

 

[ultimatevacman]

Oh and Chris, I've just noticed, I wonder who that is in the background of the first picture?

If you are reading this, hi James!

Oh right I see. I am going to try to get a BT Viscount like they had on One Foot in The Grave - anyone remember seeing it on the show? I think they answered 4921 or 4291 or something like that.

 

[jmurray01]

It was 4291. I remember them having a cordless phone though.

Thinking about it now, you are right. I might have seen the Viscount on an earlier episode.

One Foot In The Grave

the BT Viscount was upstairs, on the bedside table

 

[jmurray01]

Of course Chris! I remember now.

It has been a while since I watched that show.
