19th century shopping till kit unfinished

Icons of the 19th century these magnificent shopping tills are simply wonderful. The miniature kit comes in 3 sections and is very easy to assemble. I do not supply any paper "price" tickets or clear glass for the non digital readout! The casting of the tiny little keys is incredibly complex and occassional one or two might need to be gently bent back into position.

Size

40mm tall x 30mm wide x 26mm deep

The kit is unassembled and comes unfinished in dull pewter.

The pewter can be polished or painted. If painting please apply a thin layer of metal primer. This will help the coat of paint adhere to the surface.

A step away from my usual 18th century offerings is this rather lovely victorian camera. It comes in 4 sections but does not include a base. It would look wonderful in an office where maybe the occupier has a pile of old film and some photographs ready for framing or filing. I always feel that these types of item lend themselves to story telling. Not only can you indulge your love of all things mini but by adding such items to a room you begin to create a wonderful story. Who owns it? Why do they own it? What do sort of photography do they take? Ideas and imagination are endless and so much fun.

HOVIS bread tins

Small 1.4cm x 2cm x 1cm high

Large 2.7cm x 1.8cm x 1.3cm high

An iconic kitchen item designed for baking your bread. When the loaf is removed the bread would have had the impression of the word Hovis in the side of the bread!

The tins are created with the same font and design as the original with a small curled edge to the top of the tin to allow the bread to rise and flow over the edges.

When the item is supplied unpainted it will be supplied ready for tidying which will mean small nodules will need to be sanded or snapped off - this is super easy to do and takes just a minute or two.

Made from lead free pewter alloy.

IT for 12th scale Sewing Machine

The painted sewing machine is an example of what the kit will look like when painted.

I was brought up with a sewing machine - my first one not too disimilar to this one. I was about 7 and living in Norfolk. I remember thinking what fun it was spinning the wheel as fast as I could only to end up crushing my finger in the spoke!

The sewing machine is very easy to assemble. It has a little spool winding addition which you glue to the front of the machine. I have to admit the machine is not exactly the same as the original. Any machinists will instantly recognise the flaws! If you want to add a spool of cotton thread to the top you would need to glue it on or you could drill and small hole in the metal and glue in a small pin.

The machine is cast with a little machine foot and needle - some of the images are missing them as I was a little heavy handed with my file.
