Description: Two lightplay transparent mobiles from Rainbow Bridge still with original packaging. The opened mobile features plastic semi-opaque horse designs hanging from a metal frame with semi-transparent nylon thread with silicone suction cup. The packaging features a blue cardboard label, with price sticker still affixed, displaying a cost of 25p. There is a piece of regular string thread also attached, though this would appear to be a later addition following use. The still sealed mobile features plastic semi-opaque cat designs and the same mechanisms of the above mobile and the same label but with a pink colour. Both designs are created by the artist Max Brownigg for Rainbow Designs Ltd.. The label features an address on Old Street and telephone number.
Date: c. 1980s
Further Information: There is no record of a limited company with the name Rainbow Bridge Ltd., except a South Yorkshire funeral service agency. 188 Old Street is the site of a former school building which now houses multiple business.
