Doc Martens 6 eye crazy horse with official bex resole 7 (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
A pair of Doc Martens, size seven but run large. Would easily fit 7-1/2 and maybe 8. These were resoled last year by the Boot Repair Company with new brown welt, official DM Bex soles and new laces. I got them to replace the original yellow welt stitching with brown thread as the way I used them, the yellow quickly showed the dirt. The resoles are now worn nearly to the point they were at when I had them replaced last time. Additionally, the inner heel lining has worn out and been removed and the toe lining has been removed on one boot as it had gone into holes and bunched up and rubbed so was better taken out. If you like patina, you'll like these! These were made in Vietnam with the current welt and sole replacement done in England.

Salton Hotray - electric hotplate, boxed as new (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
Salton hotray, boxed as new in full working order with original instruction leaflet. I believe it's from the 1970s. I've only used it a handful of times in the last couple of decades so might be time to find a new home for it. Handy when entertaining guests. No controls, it's on or off by switching at the plug socket. A hot ring at one end and a warming area for the rest of it. Glass topped, easy to clean. Measures approximately 25inches long, 8-1/2 inches wide and 2 inches high. Light to carry and easy to store. Tested before listing and works as intended.

Trussardi mens jacket Medium very faded (Corstorphine EH12)
Gifted
Trussardi Collection Mens jacket. 100% cotton. I've owned this from new. Originally black as can be seen from the photos of the inside, now heavily faded to a lightish grey. It may be possible for the new owner to redye it to black with one of the commonly available home use fabric dyes. Some wear/fraying to lower hem and worn through near one cuff where I've had the cuffs turned up. The jacket is unlined and is a bit like a lightweight denim type thickness to the material. Seven exterior pockets (three zipped and four snap fastened). Measurements are 21" chest pit to pit, 25" back length collar seam to hem, 18" shoulders seam to seam across the back. It's labelled as an Italian size 48. It's equivalent to a generous UK 38 or a smallish 40. It's been a much loved and much worn jacket.

An unopened box of instant coffee sachets. Made in Vietnam. Doesn't require any kind of machine, just empty sachet into a cup, add boiled water and stir. Contains 21 sachets. Dated until June next year. We don't really drink coffee so I haven't tried these and can't comment on the flavour but going by the photo on the box, it looks like the sort of coffee enjoyed by people who travel in helicopters like some sort of East Asian James Bond.
