Free: Vintage cabinet (Higham Hill E17) Withdrawn A piece of history! The second photo shows the insides, labelled 'wine-glasses', 'serviettes' etc, even holes for wine bottles or decanters.

Free: Vintage sewing machine (Higham Hill E17) Gifted The classic Singer sewing machine, about 100 years old, still working.

Modern instruction booklet supplied. It comes in its original box: I use a strap for safety.
