Round glass top dining table (St Buryan TR19) 7d - Round heavy duty glass top dining table approximately 3' 6" or 106 cm diameter. Consists of metal base (legs unscrew from top which supports glass) and separate glass top. Originally from Ikea. It has been used outside, so there is some rust on the base and some of the paint it coming off, so needs a little TLC.

Firescreen (St Buryan TR19) Gifted 61d - Old (probably home made) firescreen. Tapestry insert. About 70 years old. It needs glass in front of the tapestry and the old piece broke many years ago

Old rigid Revelation suitcase (St Buryan TR19) Withdrawn 61d - This is about 50 years old and fairly scruffy. The photo makes it look smarter than it actually is. There are watermarks inside where something must have leaked a long time ago. It's ideal for storage. I used it to store old woollen blankets, but no longer have the blankets. If no-one wants it, it can go to the tip.

Old woollen blankets PROMISED (St Buryan TR19) Gifted 69d - Three old woollen blankets plus one car blanket. These are worn and car blanket has a hole in it. Suitable for pet bedding perhaps.

Barbecue skewers (St Buryan TR19) Gifted 139d - Barbecue skewers with wooden handles. The actual skewer is approx. 30 cm long. These have never been used and are in original packing, but it's scruffy as they have been stored for quite a number of years.

Mirror (St Buryan TR19) Expired 193d - Mirror in wooden frame 11" x 15" / 28cm x 38 cm approx. It's a little scruffy and looks as if it was once on a stand that would stand on a dressing table. The frame needs a coat of varnish. There are a couple of very small scratches on the glass. Apologies for bad photo. It's difficult to photograph because of the reflection

Two tier cat basket PROMISED (St Buryan TR19) Gifted 203d - This has been promised to someone. Cat basket with two tiers. Suitable for a smaller cat. Ours has outgrown it.

Vileda Viroba robotic duster (St Buryan TR19) Gifted 250d - I bought this in a B&Q closing down sale a few years ago as a jokey birthday present for a friend. I put it in the proverbial safe place and it's just come to light. The joke would be lost now. If anyone can use it, you are welcome to have it. It's never been out of its box.

The last time I used them they told me the battery was low, but I haven't replaced it as I now have another set of scales. So it's possible the battery will need replacing to use them.

Inflatable mattresses (St Buryan TR19) Gifted 1y - Two inflatable single mattresses with velour tops. These have not been used for several years, but I inflated them 3 days ago and they are still firm, so they appear to be sound. They do need a pump to inflate them. We use a cheap foot operated pump that goes with an inflatable dinghy.
