Ringo Or Robin promotional only short sleeved, round neck, 100%
cotton white T-shirt. This stylish vintage item has been dry stored
unworn for over 30 years and remains in fantastic condition. It
features full colour R-O-R logo artwork printed on the front & 'Thanks'
in a star motif on the back. An amazing collectors item in wonderful
condition. Size Small) |  | RINGO OR ROBIN Ted Heath Mirror (Extremely rare 90cm x 90cm
pictorial mirror created by the RoR design company formed by Ringo
Starr & Robin Cruickshank, dating from the early 1970s. In excellent
condition, this mirror is 1 of 3 in a series of pictorial designs
representing famous icons from the 1970s era. RoR was dissolved in
1976 and their designs are now very scarce - especially the delicate
glass & mirror objets d'art, few of which have survived. See 'more info'
for extra details.
Tracklisting: RoR (Ringo or Robin) was a design company created by Ringo Starr and his business partner Robin Cruickshank. Formed in the early 1970's RoR was responsible for creating a variety of items, including official Apple merchandise, along with various other boutique goods ranging from novelty executive toys and desk ornaments to fully functional furniture and decorative mirrors. The venture was not a great success and their partnership ended in 1976. Now, almost 30 years on, their designs are very rare, especially the many items manufactured from glass, which by their very nature were delicate and easily chipped or broken.
This mirror is one of 3 designs manufactured in the same series. Measuring approximately 30” x 30” (90cm x 90cm), the design is supposed to depict the British MP and then Prime Minister Ted Heath. He is represented in profile on the left and right sides of the scene, his chest/torso creating a valley within which are depicted the rolling hills of a countryside setting, complete with church, tree-lined horizon and a lake. Adding more weight to the Ted Heath image theory is the inclusion of a sailing boat on the lake - Ted Heath being almost equally well known for his sailing activities as he is for his political career.
The overall condition of this rare RoR mirror is excellent. There is a 1cm chip in the bottom left corner - this is the only blemish to the actual mirrored pictorial. The metal frame shows evidence of a few knocks over the years - most of these are superficial scratches and could be largely improved with a decent polish! The four rubber strips that fit between the frame and glass, preventing excessive movement and creating soft buffer between mirror and metal, are all present, one each side.
This mirror was last sold at Sotheby's in September 1994, and has remained in storage since that sale.
Due to its delicate nature we are unable to ship this item outside the UK. For UK delivery options please contact us first - if you can collect this item in person it would be the safest method. | | RINGO OR ROBIN Ted Heath Mirror (Extremely rare 90cm x 90cm

set designed as a promotional item by RoR. This exquisite set
contains a 24" x 21" orange / black mirrored glass playing board with
aluminum frame surround, complete with tumblers & dice playing
counters. Very few of these boards were manufactured and they rarely
surface onto the collectors market. See 'More Info' for more
detailed information on the background & condition of this beautiful
item...!)

Now, almost 30 years on, their designs are very rare, especially the many items manufactured from glass, which by their very nature were delicate and easily chipped or broken.
The Playing Board
The board measures approximately 24" x 21" and framed in brushed aluminum. The boards surface is mirrored glass with the playing area printed in orange and black with a green centre divider. In the very centre of the board is the "© RoR LTD 74" text in green.
The board shows evidence of light use but remains in fantastic condition.
The Accessories
30 wooden playing counters, 15 coated in heavy black lacquer, 15 coated in an orange lacquer. All exhibit signs of light usage but NO damage or excessive fading, beautifully manufactured.
4 original regular dice, 1 special backgammon dice, made from lacquered wood. These accessories are housed in a hinged lid, black cardboard box with seperate compartments for each of the dice and the two different coloured counters.
Also included are 2 silver coloured plastic tumblers stylishly finished in silver - both show signs of use with some light scratches to the finish, however nothing to spoil the overall beauty of the piece.
All the above accessories are original components from 1974 - nothing is missing, nor has anything been replaced.
As previously mentioned these sets rarely surface onto the collectors market, however when they do they are usually in a far worse condition than this one AND they generally have a board which is framed in wood, instead of aluminum! To our knowledge this is the only aluminum framed one to ever become available for sale to the public and is unlikely to hang around for long!
Due to its delicate nature we would need to liaise with the buyer regarding shipping options. We welcome collection in person and by appointment. |
