The V9(Peter) is from the 20th century, used as an aid for posting pictures onto 21st century social media like forums. Very useful after all those years from being first created. Very rare indeed(in fact unique)HappyLaughing

A bit rough round the edges but has stood the test of time (to date) but can still be found lurking in the dark recesses of the forum Happy plying his dubious trade Surprised

Yes indeed Brue we had one back in the 70,s and as i remember you did,nt need an alarm clock because of the noise it made as the water came to the boil.In the end we took it to a car boot sale and an Australian who was over here on holiday bought it to take home as he had never seen anything like it Happy

Teasmaid machines on display at the science museum Happy

My parents bought one identical to the one second from the left second hand about 40 years ago Afaik it's still going strong.  Funily enough we were talking about teasmaids earlier today they are unbeliably naff, a bit like caravans really.  We have always had one what's there not to like it makes a hot drink to wake to.  I have spare ones bought from car boots in the loft just in case.

The early E type jag, not the latter one with the open headlights is a contender. 

But the winner is 

The Eriba puck
