Details
The chrome plated deco styled Hawkins Classic LGH 5000 was made by L G Hawkins of Drury Lane, Hastings. It is known to have been available from 1963 to 1966 and was probably produced into the 1970’s. This teasmade was advertised as a “Luxurious Tea and Coffee Maker” in the Gardiner of Bristol catalogue, 1966, for £19/10/7. The description states that it is “beautifully constructed of heavy chrome plate brass with black handles, face and clock dial,” and that “the unique design eliminates the rocking movement usual in teamakers”.
