Description

The lot comprises a collection of items including technical books, decorative woodwork, and a television-themed plush toy character. The assortment of books includes several instructional volumes in publisher’s cloth bindings. One volume, bound in orange cloth, bears the title Workshop Mathematics and the name Smith at the base of its spine. Adjacent to it is a tan cloth-bound book titled New Guide for Turners, Fitters, & Screw-Cutters. The third volume, Magnetism & Electricity, features the initials I.C.S. for the International Correspondence Schools at the base of its cream-coloured spine. Decorative items include a rectangular wooden box featuring intricate marquetry with chevron-patterned bands and a hinged lid with a metal latch. A second open case with a ruched white silk lining contains a set of spoons with dark handles. The collection is completed by a yellow plush toy character representing Zippy from the British children’s television programme Rainbow. The character is depicted in nautical attire, wearing a white sailor’s cap and holding a blue and white lifebelt, both featuring anchor motifs. A white fabric label is attached to the underside of the right foot, displaying a printed multi-coloured rainbow logo above the word rainbow in lowercase type.
