Teasmade model D25d, approx 1970 The D25d
featured the new
brushed stainless steel clock face.
The
kettle and teapot were no longer set diagonally. The new
teapot design had a black lid. The socket was the same
circular type as on the D25c. The new style kettle had a
short transfer tube leading to the spout of the teapot
instead of to a feeder hole in the pot lid.
Goblin Leatherhead records
confirm that on 30th Dec 1970
Goblin announced a price increase of 5% on all models
except the D25 to take effect from 1st February 1971. It
appears that the price was held in order to clear stock.
A memo from 6th July 1971 announced a further price
increase of 5% on the 833, 834 and 835, no increase on
the 815, and no mention of the D25(d). So we can conclude
that stocks of the D25 definitely ran out in early 1971.
A memo in 1971 further
confirmed that the demise of the D25 series was final.
The D25 was to be replaced by the model 835 but retaining
the same clock and movement.
