I had a little oven like that, about 1958, you put small tablets under where the pan would be that my Dad would light for me & in my small frying pan I would cook bacon & I boiled water,we had no fear in the 50’s!
The fellow on the horse is Paul Revere. When we moved to the US in the 60s, manufacturers gave all sorts of things away in boxes of laundry detergent and cereals, and other foodstuffs. We thought it was great fun to collect the teaspoons and drinking glasses and, yes, dinnerware. It took a while, but we eventually accumulated an entire service for four of the blue and white china (dinner plates, bowls, tea cups and saucers), and that design was on the cups. Other heroes of the American Revolution (like Betsy Ross) were on other pieces.
There is a poem we studied with Year 6 children , when I worked in Education about a horseback man. I can’t quite remember what it was called. I will try and find out.x
All I can think of is: CANDLE. The mug would make such a pretty candle! And the oven... just imagine making tiny metal toy saucepans/pots into small candles, placing them on the hobs and having them in the kitchen. How sweet would that be - and you wouldn`t destroy the oven.
I have three of those cups and the saucers. Printed on the bottom of the saucer is, LIBERTY BLUE, HISTORIC COLONIAL SCENES, OLD NORTH CHURCH. These dishes are from 1976 and were 'freebees in grocery stores. My guess is that the man on the horse is Paul Revere of "the british are coming the british are coming" fame.
So lovely to see this and re-value what others discard I loved the little cooker memories of the 40/50s toys I grew up with, thank you im so pleased to know there are people like you in the world, you make it a better place ❤️
I think those Christmas lights will have a fuse bulb that is not working and needs replaced the fuse bulb is the very first bulb well used to be and was white. We may have a fuse bulb, we still have sets o Christmas lights over the past 50 years. Hubby could look for you if you want?
Those lights reminded me of my childhood. Those Christmases of multicoloured lights, tinsel, shiny streamers hung about the ceiling. Those were the days 🥰
Vintage things, you can make a box up to donate to a local residential homes or dementia clubs, as they have to raise money for the activities to keep their memories
Evening Mr C the little oven is a wonderful find it's a little tin cooker toy from the 50's tinplate Fuchs kitchen range cooker, I can't wait to see it all cleaned up, I absolutely love vintage toys! A fab find :)
in my road neighbours have started leaving stuff on the wall outside….i’ve picked up some books & photo frames & wooden hangers…..my hubby put loads of garden pots & bamboo we had cut….i went inside to write a sign & by the time i came back they were all gone…..i love it lovely way to turn trash to treasure……
Same in my part of London. Renters leave really good stuff behind on the pavement when they leave. You could furnish a whole house. I've got a brand new iron, a vintage wicker chair I resprayed etc. And there are many v large families who put stuff they no longer want out too. 8-9 children is v common here so they're always decluttering 😂
@@jackydavis3719 London Facebook Marketplace is great for people going back abroad after their secondment in London & selling practically new stuff off for pennies.
Mr Carrington, that blue and white saucer features the American patriot Paul Revere who rode out of Boston to warn the outer towns of Concord and Lexington that the British were coming! The patter know as Liberty Blue was sold around 1976 to commemorate the American Bicentennial. Each piece is decorated with a different historical image. I’ve been collecting them since 1975 and a huge collection. Brings me joy to know that you now have a cup in our home.
The small strip of paper looks like wallpaper border, when I was very young the border was either pasted on top of the wallpaper usually at the top between the wall and the ceiling to finish it off or half way up the wall like todays dado rail, I remember helping my dad to wallpaper !!
I had an oven in the 60's it didn't look like that one but it used a light bulb to cook. It was called an easy bake oven. My brother's always wanted me to make them cakes. LoL. My favorite item is the rabbit.
Those Christmas lights, if they’re the same as my parents had if one is missing or one bulb has blown the whole lot don’t work. Maybe get some spare bulbs and try that 😊
I had the exact same oven. You put little white paraffin cubes in the holes and lit them. I remember boiling potatoes in little pans. Heath and safety would have a field day now letting children play with fire and boiling water. It must have been about 1964 xx
Those tiny metal plates could be used to place a tea spoon after stirring your tea. The flower Xmas lights used to plug into the ceiling light, they were a pain because if a bulb went out you would have to literally go through the whole string to find out which it was, as they would all go out together, also the wiring may now be broken inside due to folding/unfolding etc. I would personally just use them for pretty decoration as they will drive you crazy and could be a fire hazard, but they are so pretty and vintage, I would keep them.
One of the cutters is doughnut cutter, the scalloped little trays are for petitfours and other delicate small tarts 😊 the lenght of material is woven trim, you can actually make 3 book marks by sewing both ends and adding pretty silk tassels
That Yotam Ottolenghi cookbook is a real find. He has delis in various parts of London and a 'proper' restaurant in Spitalfields (not cheap!) and specialises in what could be loosely termed middle-eastern cooking , as he was born in Jerusalem of Italian and German Jewish descent. The great thing is that the co-author of 'Jerusalem' is a Palestinian chef from Jerusalem (who also works in London). If I remember correctly they opened the first deli together (not sure if they're still work partners).😉
The cup was most likely made in Staffordshire and you could put some airplants in it. A tip if you havent got a trolley token or a £1 coin - put two 20ps together - I was taught this by a 90 year old woman.
I think you're right Mr Carrington, you can put tea lights in that little oven, there's a channel on here called little kitchen i think, quite cool. And those old Christmas petal lights, take me back pretty sure they are from the late 80s early 90s. Great video Mr Carrington. 👍
I had one of those ovens when i was small so early 1960's the hobs had an red/orange plastic piece under the top and they flickered when you turned the tiny knobs Chad Valley comes to mind as the make It had tiny pans and a dish with a plastic roast chicken and I think I had a sink that went with it
When you held up the little metal cherub thingy I thought they were floating through the air holding onto a dandelion seed. It would look lovely in a garden or on a roof terrace
Mr carrington love your show .I am retired and have now lost both my two cat within two years it's been hard not have them to tell me what to do is a marvel I didn't know that my life was run by the cats so am looking to you for support!!
The cup I’d attach with strong glue on the side to an odd saucer /plate & make it into a bird feeder add a little chain to the handle The Santa plate looks like the Santa I have on a Cath kidston tray maybe ask Kate You get some really interesting items 😊x
Hello yes I had an oven very similar I love the old fashioned toys they always had lots of detail my favourite was my dolls house when I was little. I liked all the items you bought.😊👍♥️
Those small, oval, fluted tins are barquette tins for small tarts or canapes, I think. The Ottolenghi Jerusalem book is a great find, I am keeping an eye out for that one, delicious recipes, well done
Wow! what a lots of random stuff in this Vlog! Loved it, be careful with the fairy lights they are probably from the 50's or 60's I would guess judging by the plug on them, people would plug them into the ceiling light or a lamp, as not many homes had lots of sockets to use. It would be safer if you had them checked by an electrician as the wire may be faulty after all this time. If you do get them working, you probably need replacement bulbs and you can usually get them on places like e-bay. I think they would be nice purely as decoration out in the roof garden draped on something like a plant pot or on the trellis. The cup, either put a tea light in it, or better still fill it with wax and a wick and make it into a candle? Thanks for this, I enjoyed it a lot x
The wee blue cup is perfect for a spring bulb display, maybe a hyacyinth or wee daffodils. Plant it up in the cup, finish off with some moss on the top, it will look fab. Once the bulb has finished flowering just plant it in a pot and place it in your roof garden ❤
We had the same fairy lights when we married in 1979. Probably needs a new bulb, if one bulb goes none will work so you have to try each bulb with a little bulb tester. You can put a 3 pin plug on it as well. You would put them away working and the following Xmas a bulb would have gone! The child’s oven looks late 50s early 60s could be chad valley and the little tins could have been inside it to use to cook with.
Yep! 'Testing' the Christmas lights was an annual saga. Usually the spare bulb/fuse would be nowhere to be found and the lights would start off in a hideous tangle. Happy days! 😂
I would use the oven to hold battery tea lights. An air plant if you want to use it as 12:15 plant pot would also work. Both fir display in the kitchen.
Ah Iwan what lovely things you found. The lights remind me of the 70's and 80's when I was growing up, although I've never seen them in the pastel shades. It was my job to fix the lights when they wouldn't work (I was about 7 or 8). On one of the bulbs there will be a painted white tip, this would be the fuse that I would change. We always had a little bag of spare fuse bulbs. My husband banned me a few years ago from using my old fairy lights, I still have some in the loft. Nothing beats the look and glow of old fairy lights...such wonderful memories ❤🎄x
Hi Iwan great haul u picked up some gems there ur friend is gonna love the cookery books I know he loves cookery & trying out new recipes, have a lovely weekend take care lots of love 💞💞💞
I bought the white metal lazy Susan u showed purchased from Amazon. Two actually for our bathroom counters. They r great!! So thank you!! Love all u do!!
Hi Mr C, once you cleaned the toy cooker I am sure the Toy musuem will love it . I wonder what other items was part of this range. Did they have fridges and washing machines etc? Maybe one of your viewers will know. Very good finds, those pieces look very interesting and fun😊
Hi Mr c Cook books are realy nice and are expensive too ..some good finds rabbit is lovley I will be going to get one of those ... was a good blog as usual jo❤
I live in a large apartment building and we leave unwanted treasures in our laundry room for others to take and enjoy. We also have a large bookshelf full of books and DVDs - take them, read them and bring them back for someone else to enjoy.
I had a cooker like that in the late 50s . I remember heating up some baked beans , l think they involved some form of methylated spirits and could only be used under adult supervision. I had hours of fun and no accidents. Things were different back then 😊
Oh mr c what memories you bought back to me with the little oven i was the youngest of three and dad converted the old garden shed to a play house mum made certains and a little wooden table and two chairs and that little oven i will be 70 this april ha ha imr c love the saying memories are golden❤❤loved this vlog mr c much love❤
Sometimes the most random things are the most wonderful. If you don’t find any use for the tins why not make a type of sun catcher for the garden? Maybe add a few bells 🔔 too? Just need some sort of protective layer to stop the rust coming back again. A little cute diy. 🎉🎉
I remember pretty fairy lights like that. My dad forever twiddling each one to get them to work. With the white fuse bulb and if 1 light was out, they all were out ! I’m vintage ( pushing 63 ! ) and I remember in the early 70s, actually clipping on real, lit candles onto the Xmas trees and we never gave it a thought…pre health and safety times ! 😂
I have Jerusalem. Fabulous cookbook visually and to read, though I have not yet cooked from it. Thank you for the video! I used to dream of turning a full sized stove like that into a planter but these days I do not have the space.
Iwan, in those lights, there should be a bulb, that will have white inside it, if they are old, that bulb is a fuse bulb. You will have to try and get some new ones. 😊
Hi Mr C. Yes I had a toy oven similar to that and we had to get some white tablets from a camping shop for some reason to light it. All I can remember trying to cook is a sliced up apple! Not a big success as I remember.
I must be a divvy at first I thought you were intercepting something. Nothing is ever wasted though is it? Again your videos are lovely to watch and so endearing.❤❤❤❤🎉🎉
I thought you said in this video,that you’d show us how to fold a shopping bag into a triangle?? Love all your videos especially your shopping hauls. Your Canadian girlfriend
Hi iwan, really enjoyed this vlog. You could use the cup for little bulbs or faux plant that fits. Lovely books. Anything to use on the roof garden. Really looking forward to seeing that. Hope you can use the fairy lights round a bar are maybe. Good luck. X
I had a little kitchen sink unit set in enamel in the late 1950s when I was a toddler. You could fill a little tank with water and turn on the taps to fill the sink! Also had a little enamel washing machine which worked when you turned a handle. It could be filled with water to wash your dolls clothes. Great find!
I have got some really Awesome things from dumpsters! Best find was an old coin collection. I mean who can walk by a dumpster without giving it a sneaky peek? One man’s trash is another’s treasure for sure! I even got some stunning French doors one time that we are about to install after years of storing them in our cellar. Love that old oven toy! And the decs too. But I adore anything old! 👍👍👍👍💗😀
Fab "random" finds!! Too good to leave behind! So many perfect little rusty-crusty decor pieces for a kitchen shelf. I must confess - I gasped when you pulled out the little stove - "omg, I'd kill for that!" Lol
Horse cup my favourite how about putting mini Chocolate eggs in it and some florist paper the see through type around it and tying with a blue ribbon .Perfect Easter present 🎁👌🦄
Iwan..so you picked up the New York Cult recipes book!! One that I do not have. Went on Amazon and the sale price is 37.97 $$ here in the US. Do you live in Hampstead?? Great haul. Enjoy. Lawrie in Philadelphia
The metal "basket" type are to make a wonderful Italian cookie. The base is a sweet dough and then you fill them with a plum jam or any other type of filling. Very yummy
I’m twos week ahead of this strange synchronicity…. I considered both scubbs as I have the new wall unit six draw malam draw set…. And I was gonna buy this book storage thing for a friend in home sense… brilliant 🤩 gotta love shopping! 🛒 ended up buying neon paint in home sense instead 😂 practical flop of sensibility at that point
The oven is a Fuchs MFZ made in Germany 1960s. I had one. It came with lots of accessories like a kettle, pans and things to hang at the back. Great find!
Hello Mr C, great finds. I found your little toy tin oven so close to its style right down to the tiles on the top front of the oven. They sell in esty the price was $60? Below is the same so you can see it for yourself. I would either sell it or clean it up and us itbin your kitchen. You could try finding salt abs peper shakers to fit in the oven top or even better tiny pots abd pans thst are shakers to cover the tops. Great finds. Anyway, here the search name to look them up. Good luck. RARE FIND Price:$60.00 D.B.P. Antique Tin Toy Stove Oven Friction Toy With Spark
OMG MR C you have made me feel very ancient LOL. Admittedly, we had a proper plug on the end but those Christmas tree lights wow, had those when i was a kid. Such lovely memories of my Mum and I decorating the tree with them. Tree always goes up on or around my birthday, Christmas tradition. Except, I LOVE CHRISTMAS so much that I now put the tree up on my husband's birthday which is end of November ha ha. Thank you for a lovely video as always. x
Hi, just had a trip back to the 60's, the lights would be plugged into the ceiling light and draped over to the tree, the paper strip was an wallpaper boarder, i used to get all the spare bits and use them in my wooden dolls house my dad build for me when i was about 4, the front opened like a big door. My mum used to find odd bits of carpet, made little curtains and she painting a. roof and, climbing roses. Was my best ever Christmas present. Also made my brother a wooden fort, Such happy memories thank you
I had a little oven like that, about 1958, you put small tablets under where the pan would be that my Dad would light for me & in my small frying pan I would cook bacon & I boiled water,we had no fear in the 50’s!
My mother also had that kind of oven - no fear in the danish 70s either... ;)
I had one too, it's possibly from Triang toys.
What about glueing a magnet on the tiny tins for the fridge? You find the coolest things!
I think the oven is from the 40's or 50's
I had one too around 1968
The fellow on the horse is Paul Revere. When we moved to the US in the 60s, manufacturers gave all sorts of things away in boxes of laundry detergent and cereals, and other foodstuffs. We thought it was great fun to collect the teaspoons and drinking glasses and, yes, dinnerware. It took a while, but we eventually accumulated an entire service for four of the blue and white china (dinner plates, bowls, tea cups and saucers), and that design was on the cups. Other heroes of the American Revolution (like Betsy Ross) were on other pieces.
I was saying,it’s Paul Revere. I remember my mom getting dishes,etc in laundry detergent boxes.
I was thinking Paul Revere, but with it saying England on the bottom it might have been Dick Turpin.
There is a poem we studied with Year 6 children , when I worked in Education about a horseback man. I can’t quite remember what it was called. I will try and find out.x
Pumpkin and mittens will love scratching the bunny if they’re anything like my two..😂
Definitely love the rabbit!
All I can think of is: CANDLE. The mug would make such a pretty candle! And the oven... just imagine making tiny metal toy saucepans/pots into small candles, placing them on the hobs and having them in the kitchen. How sweet would that be - and you wouldn`t destroy the oven.
or succulent holder
I have three of those cups and the saucers. Printed on the bottom of the saucer is, LIBERTY BLUE, HISTORIC COLONIAL SCENES, OLD NORTH CHURCH. These dishes are from 1976 and were 'freebees in grocery stores. My guess is that the man on the horse is Paul Revere of "the british are coming the british are coming" fame.
Yes, that is Paul Revere on the cup!
That little oven made me want a Mr. Carrington makes a dollhouse series 😄 You have the diy skills and imagination for it!

Hi Mr c Cook books are realy nice and are expensive too ..some good finds rabbit is lovley I will be going to get one of those ... was a good blog as usual jo❤
Hi..
Maybe u could melt old candles or left over bits of them and create your own candle in the cup x

Iwan, in those lights, there should be a bulb, that will have white inside it, if they are old, that bulb is a fuse bulb. You will have to try and get some new ones. 😊
Hi Mr C. Yes I had a toy oven similar to that and we had to get some white tablets from a camping shop for some reason to light it. All I can remember trying to cook is a sliced up apple! Not a big success as I remember.
I must be a divvy at first I thought you were intercepting something. Nothing is ever wasted though is it? Again your videos are lovely to watch and so endearing.❤❤❤❤🎉🎉
What an interesting haul Mr. C!
I thought you said in this video,that you’d show us how to fold a shopping bag into a triangle?? Love all your videos especially your shopping hauls. Your Canadian girlfriend
Hi iwan, really enjoyed this vlog. You could use the cup for little bulbs or faux plant that fits. Lovely books. Anything to use on the roof garden. Really looking forward to seeing that. Hope you can use the fairy lights round a bar are maybe. Good luck. X
the porcelain cup and small tins I would use to make candles!
I had a little kitchen sink unit set in enamel in the late 1950s when I was a toddler. You could fill a little tank with water and turn on the taps to fill the sink! Also had a little enamel washing machine which worked when you turned a handle. It could be filled with water to wash your dolls clothes. Great find!
My favourite was the Bunny so cute I think my Cat is going to like it too.
I have got some really Awesome things from dumpsters! Best find was an old coin collection. I mean who can walk by a dumpster without giving it a sneaky peek? One man’s trash is another’s treasure for sure! I even got some stunning French doors one time that we are about to install after years of storing them in our cellar. Love that old oven toy! And the decs too. But I adore anything old! 👍👍👍👍💗😀
Fab "random" finds!! Too good to leave behind! So many perfect little rusty-crusty decor pieces for a kitchen shelf. I must confess - I gasped when you pulled out the little stove - "omg, I'd kill for that!" Lol
I’m waiting for my bunny to arrive from home bargains too! Wow she is bigger than I thought for that price 😃 good to know 😁
Horse cup my favourite how about putting mini Chocolate eggs in it and some florist paper the see through type around it and tying with a blue ribbon .Perfect Easter present 🎁👌🦄
What fabulous finds ❤
Iwan..so you picked up the New York Cult recipes book!! One that I
do not have. Went on Amazon and the sale price is 37.97 $$ here
in the US. Do you live in Hampstead?? Great haul. Enjoy.

I loved the Primark vlog 👏
The metal "basket" type are to make a wonderful Italian cookie. The base is a sweet dough and then you fill them with a plum jam or any other type of filling. Very yummy
The teacup was from.Liberty Blue Historic Colonial Scenes Tea Cup England.
The little cooker was by fuchs because it was metal it is pretty 1960
Isn't it lovely to have contrasting personality pets. I have two collies with total different personalities and love it
I’m twos week ahead of this strange synchronicity…. I considered both scubbs as I have the new wall unit six draw malam draw set…. And I was gonna buy this book storage thing for a friend in home sense… brilliant 🤩 gotta love shopping! 🛒 ended up buying neon paint in home sense instead 😂 practical flop of sensibility at that point
Amazing dumpster finds Iwan, love everything you’ve found and purchased, tfs x Julie
Just found the mug on ebay and it says it’s Paul Revere. Very interesting. Xx
Good for you Mr c it saves going in landfill 👍😁
The oven is a Fuchs MFZ made in Germany 1960s. I had one. It came with lots of accessories like a kettle, pans and things to hang at the back. Great find!
Hello Mr C, great finds. I found your little toy tin oven so close to its style right down to the tiles on the top front of the oven. They sell in esty the price was $60? Below is the same so you can see it for yourself. I would either sell it or clean it up and us itbin your kitchen. You could try finding salt abs peper shakers to fit in the oven top or even better tiny pots abd pans thst are shakers to cover the tops. Great finds. Anyway, here the search name to look them up. Good luck.

OMG MR C you have made me feel very ancient LOL. Admittedly, we had a proper plug on the end but those Christmas tree lights wow, had those when i was a kid. Such lovely memories of my Mum and I decorating the tree with them. Tree always goes up on or around my birthday, Christmas tradition. Except, I LOVE CHRISTMAS so much that I now put the tree up on my husband's birthday which is end of November ha ha. Thank you for a lovely video as always. x
Love the vintage stuff!!
What a random lot, love it where I live nobody puts anything out so lucky .x
I had that little oven when I was little about 1960 s maybe
I loved the toy cooker...a great find. I'm sure Luke will love the cook books and the little cookie cutters etc.
Hi, just had a trip back to the 60's, the lights would be plugged into the ceiling light and draped over to the tree, the paper strip was an wallpaper boarder, i used to get all the spare bits and use them in my wooden dolls house my dad build for me when i was about 4, the front opened like a big door. My mum used to find odd bits of carpet, made little curtains and she painting a. roof and, climbing roses. Was my best ever Christmas present. Also made my brother a wooden fort, Such happy memories thank you
They definatley were random bits, loved the little oven, love to kitties xx
