Long dark green velvet dress for dressmaking (Hillhay PL23)
This was a gorgeous long dress - the form of the bodice and its shawl neck is lovely. However, the skirt velvet has been damaged in a few places by damp. The bodice is in excellent condition - dress worn only twice many years ago. Thinking the bodice could be used as the basis of a new outfit by someone. It is a Monsoon size 10, and the photos don't do the colour justice. I would love to think someone could give this a new lease of life

Vintage Meopta Axomat Enlarger (Hillhay PL23)
Gifted
This is an old enlarger, which my father used for black and white photography for many years. The plug has been removed, but other than that, all parts appear to be present and correct. Having not switched it on, due to the plug, I cannot confirm that for certain. It is a classic brand from the 1960s and the instruction booklet is with it.

Necci sewing machine - 1960s (Hillhay PL23)
Gifted
Necci 544 classic design icon. This was my mum's. I have not used it but all the parts are here. Given its age it is in pretty good condition but cannot guarantee it works, nor explain how it works. It has been displayed in design exhibitions for the sleek Italian look.

HiFi separates Kenwood (Hillhay PL23)
Expired
Old but good condition. Tuner, amp and cd player. There is a timer on the tuner for 7 days worth of settings which we do not know how to use- this is why we have replaced it
