Hawkins was a Director of Pye Ltd as early as 1950. When
Pye and the radio manufacturers E K Cole merged in 1960,
there was inveitably some rationalisation and eventually
the Ekco and Hawkins operations were merged. Ekco had not made teawakers before, but in 1947 they had manufactured a clock radio, the Radiotime, a very modern looking appliance compared to the Goblin Timespot of the same date. The new company EKCO Hawkins produced several teawaker models. In a copy of their first joint product catalogue, dated 1967, there are three models: the Tecal LGH 4400 and 4000CH, and the Tiffeematic LGH1700, shown here. In the foreground is the top of the Boilette LGH255. |
