8 by 10 glass clip frames (Boscombe BH1)
Gifted
281d
- Not much else say really. Four frames for hanging your 8 by 10 photos or drawings. The frames have four clips and can be hung either way. One frame is missing a clip but this doesn’t really affect its use. I would prefer not to split.

Marble-pattern worktop (Boscombe BH1)
Gifted
313d
- Lovely Bushboard Nuance Turin style marble-pattern worktop, what’s left still in its polythene wrapping. We only needed a piece (which has been cut off) and didn’t realise how long this was! Nice rounded edge on one side, some damage over two or three cms of the straight back edge (see photo). An edging strip is also included plus installation instructions. *Note the size*: It is narrower than the usual kitchen worktop and you will need a vehicle long enough to take it. 230x37x3 cms. And it is heavy so needs two people probably. Collect from Bournemouth East Cliff.

Glass-fronted display box (Boscombe BH1)
Gifted
1y
- Very useful display box; has been used as a wall hanging displaying miniatures. It is not safety glass so is not suitable for children to handle as it isn’t robust enough. The glass front was home made to keep dust out! Could be used on a stall for display purposes perhaps. Size: 50x30x6 cms

Small Ikea chrome shelf unit (Boscombe BH1)
Gifted
1y
- This is half of an Ikea Omar shelf unit. I cut it in half vertically to fit in a space but having moved this is now not needed. It’s 3’ x 1’7 x 1’2 and the feet are slipped over the cut ends of the poles. (Stable when in use but prone to falling off if you move it.) Collect from East Cliff in Bournemouth.

Archive boxes: 4 standard & 3 large (Boscombe BH1)
Gifted
1y
- These boxes, with lids and built-in handles, are good for storage or moving. They can fold flat and are surprisingly sturdy. They have some surface marks from labels and removed tape. Sizes are 14 x 16 x 10 and 16 x 19 x 11 inches roughly. Collect from Eastcliff, Bournemouth.

About 20 archive boxes (Boscombe BH1)
Gifted
1y
- I have about 20 of these boxes … all but one are unused and not made up. They can hold papers, documents or even hanging files. Each is about 40 by 15 by 26 cm made up. I’d much prefer to pass them on in one go.

Two-line cordless phone system (Boscombe BH1)
Expired
1y
- Unusual BT/Siemens system with base unit plus three phones. (I am told such things are no longer available.) Can be configured to work with two lines (currently set to single line operation) where you select which line on dialling out. Any phone can answer any incoming call, phone display says which line. Can also use as an intercom between phones. We used it when working from home with home and work lines. No caller ID! Not used for a year but should be OK. One phone a bit damaged but needed to configure the base station. You may need to get new rechargeable batteries.
