Soda syphons

Soda syphons
made in West Germany, and England c.1970s

Following on from the cocktail themes of recent posts, these soda syphons are a must have for the retro bar. The red syphon is unbranded, but marked ‘West Germany’ on the base, and the yellow syphon – although similarly unbranded, was made by Sparklets in England. Both syphons have a 1 litre capacity, have their original cartridge holders, and come with a box of Sparklets cartridges. I love the 70s image of mother and children contemplating the delights of making soda water on the Sparklets box!

The syphons are anodised aluminium and in good condition and working order. I can’t give any guarantees that the Sparklets cartridges still work…they are over thirty years old, but luckily soda cartridges are still available to buy as the design hasn’t changed.

Elsewhere on this blog I have showcased old glass soda syphons, made in Australia. If you are interested in syphons, and their history- read on!

These syphons are for sale: $AUD75

Retro Wiltshire cutlery & bar set

Retro Wiltshire barware
made in Australia c.1960s

Wiltshire is famous for its stainless steel cutlery; in this set the steak knives are joined by that famous 60s Australian invention – the Splayd. Half spoon, half fork, this utensil can do it all!

The knives and Splayd set for four is joined by a bar set- jigger measure, beer opener, bottle opener, corkscrew,  a cake slicer [complete with serrated edge] and pickle and horderves servers. All complemented by teak timber handles and using 18/10 grade stainless steel.

This set would surely complement the retro barware below, and is for sale: $AUD140
