SECRET SOFAS

Years ago I saw reference to Stanley Unwin's sofa prop on the Gerry Anderson Prop Gallery site. Its always fascinated me that out of all the hundreds of props that were made for the various Anderson shows its odd items like a sofa that survived.

You can see it fleetingly in this Secret Service trailer, a brown floral settee.


Here's the Gerry Anderson Props entry, just scroll down http://www.gerryandersonprops.com/models.php

The Secret Service sofa prop was sold by Bonhams In 2011.


Here's a very similar brown flowery sofa in an unidentified episode of Joe 90 I think. I imagine the two brown sofas are related, maybe made by the same prop maker?

Looking for more couches, I was amazed to find further furniture props like this from Gerry's show still in existence too. Here are some from a Bonham's auction and listed as from unknown productions.

Does anyone recognise them?
