Launched 1969

Teasmade production was skyrocketing. Production for the 1^st quarter of 1968 was 338,146 units.

The 815 was launched in 1969. Date confirmed via Goblin Leatherhead records. Production continued until Autumn 1974.

The Goblin Teasmade 815 was originally made for hotels, but was later released for the retail market. My correspondant Rob from the Netherlands describes his 815 here:

"What I have is a Goblin Teasmade model 815, serial number 17079. It is a very down to earth model. No clock or radio, just a black stick-switch and a red light at the front, a white earthenware pot with black-brown lid. Base: plastic and off-white. Works fantastically and makes a hell of a noise when tea is ready."

Thanks to Helen for the picture of the box!
