Free: Laptop (High Brooms TN4) Gifted Toshiba Satellite quite old but was fast. Unfortunately it recently went blank screen, probably something wrong with its internal power supply, I guess. Battery runs for 30 minutes or less. It had been running reliably for years. Secure boot did support dual boot Lubuntu and Windows 10. I have installed Windows 11 on a 160G HD which should work once the laptop is fixed.

Free: Vintage electrical fittings (High Brooms TN4) These might be fine as long as you don't use them with mains electricity, could use them as stage props, perhaps. There is also a 1970s Pifco bicycle red light, and Switch from a 1950s Rover P4 with one pointed end screw missing.

Free: Battery water top up bottle. (High Brooms TN4) Car battery water top up bottle. The end of the nozzle is designed to air-lock and stop water flowing when there is enough in the battery. I have not used it for a long time, but the nozzle needs to be pressed against something for the water to flow out. That is, the water stops flowing once you stop pushing it into the battery.
