Free: Wall Lights (HR1 Tupsley) Expired - These wall lights have been in store since we replaced them with a more modern pair. The sockets are standard BC. The wall brackets each contain a pull cord to activate the switch inside . There are some rust marks on the mounts which I have not attempted to remove or improve. The mounts are metal so will need an Earth connection when wired up. One of the shades has a chip on the mounting ring. This does not affect secure fitting. Do ask for more details if the photos are insufficient.

Free: 3" tall polished metal container (HR1 Tupsley) Expired - I had no idea what this is but it has now been identified as a toothpick dispenser! Many thanks to the several contributors of correct and incorrect identifications. I can still do without, very nicely made 'tho it is. It appears to be made of brushed and polished stainless steel. The outside of the cylinder and lid is polished; the inside and moving parts brushed. The cone is loose on the stem which is why the third photo shows the device horizontal.
