This was basic model, without clock or light, was introduced in 1952.

These pictures, supplied by website visitor Steve, show his mint condition Tiffee, which has been in his family since new and has never had a plug fitted or been filled with water! It is still in its original box (although Steve admits that this is rather tatty), and it even has its instruction leaflet!

I have a 1954 catalogue which shows the Tiffee, listed as LGH 1500, price £3-19-6 (wholesale). It bears the delightful slogan:

"Hawkins Tiffee - Tea in a Jiffy"

An advert in Ideal Home in December 1953 lists the retail price as 79'-6.

An advert in Ideal Home in December 1955 lists the retail price as £3-19-6.

An advert for this later model of the Tiffee in ivory with polished boiler appears in the Gardiner of Bristol catalogue, 1966, priced at £5/17/11.
