This is a wonderful original 1970s brown plastic desk tidy which though found in here in France, clearly says Made in England on the base.
Produced by Platignum, a 20th Century British pen manufacturer, this was the height of office fashion in the 1970s and a very useful piece of office kit for keeping your favourite pen, and maybe some paper-clips at hand.
A charming little practical item, the ideal gift for a student or anyone with a home office it could even make the perfect prop for a TV, film or theatrical production.
