Here's my Metamec Teasmade - about sixty years old at the time of filming, and still working! This is one of the rarest teasmades in my collection.

Having made clocks for Teeboy and Pifco teasmades, Metamec launched their own teasmade, the model A850, in 1957. This was arranged like the Goblin Popular with a lamp, a kettle and a round clock. It sold for £9.17.6.

This model was discontinued in December 1959, and Metamec never made another teasmade. This example is in very good condition for its age and is especially desirable as it features the original lampshade (albeit somewhat worn) which were often replaced. Note that this model does not come with a teapot.
