TEST IMAGE. A living room with a shelf of objects.

Photographed as it is. Tested. Written down.

Things that are not made any more, and still worth using.

You will know exactly what you are getting before you buy it. What it is, how it looks, how it works, and what was tested — written down, with the year it was made.

Who kept these

All 11 on the map

Most of what is here came out of one person’s house, and their account of it stays on the page, in their own words.

TEST DATA. A sitting room with a shelf that was filled slowly. Nothing here was bought as a set.

Everything in it — 4 objects

The photographs

Every frame is of the object you will receive. Never another example, never a catalogue image.

The testing

Each object is tested by one person, who writes down what was checked and what it did. That report is on the page, with the date.

The guarantee

Three months on everything the condition names, on top of your statutory rights. Fourteen days to change your mind.

The duty

Import duty is calculated and paid at checkout. The courier collects nothing at the door.

1 object has found a new owner. They keep their page, and the month they went.

Pass it on

Fifty years in a cabinet, and somewhere for it to go.

If you have a collection you no longer use, it can stay together, keep your name, and go to people who will use it.
