Retro kitchenware and household items

[turbo500]

As well as classic vacuums, I also really love retro kitchenware and other household items (such as radio's, telephones, clocks and furniture).

I thought this would be a great place where we can show off our lovely retro household items.

I don't have much, but here's a few snaps. My latest find was this lovely boxed stainless steel tea set that I found at a car boot

Wow , I love all that stuff too. Will take some pictures of my stuff as soon as I get a few minues and post them too. Some of the items I have are at our cabin in the north Ga mountains which we will be up in a few weeks for the summer.

Where in North Ga...

I have an Aunt that lives in Cartersville.

Turbo500, am I mistaken ...

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">... or is that Hinari kettle of yours the same type as the one Hyacinth Bucket had in her kitchen on "Keeping Up Appearances"?  And that Tefal one ... I might be wrong but I think that a cordless variation of it showed up in Jean and Lionel Hardcastle's kitchen on "As Time Goes By"!</span>

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!

 

[jmurray01]

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!
