Free: Small brass lantern (Hawthorne Hills in NE Seattle) Gifted About 7 inches tall. Uses lantern oil. It is a bit leaky, so if used inside, needs a plate underneath. We used to use it when we were car camping. Provide a 4-hr window when you will come for it, with this time window at least 12 hrs after you put in your request. I could leave it out with your name on it if I am not going to be home.

Free: Partly used can of ground coffee (Hawthorne Hills in NE Seattle) Gifted Left over from a function that needed a lot of coffee (about 2/3 of a 24 oz. can is left). Use-by-date is February 2025. Dark-roast, percolator grind. Give me a 4-hr window when you will come for it, with this window starting no earlier than 12 hrs. after you send your request.

Free: small electric heater (Hawthorne Hills in NE Seattle) Gifted Old-style but works - quite powerful for the size. Probably best for basements or garages or similar. Got it from a freecycler a few years ago when our furnace broke and it was winter. Passing it on now to someone who needs supplementary or temporary electric heat. Give me a 4-hr window when you can come get it, with this time slot at least 12 hours after you send me your request. I am not on email every second of the day, and need time to see and respond!

Free: Kid stuff: metal vehicles (Hawthorne Hills in NE Seattle) Gifted Two layers of mostly metal vehicles in a box, including matchbox cars/trucks, and similar (and a couple of odd larger flying vehicles). Most are only suitable for children ages 3 and up. One layer consists primarily of (small) work vehicles (dump trucks, diggers, garbage trucks, double-decker busses, etc.) - well used and loved, but still in good shape. The other layer is primarily somewhat larger emergency vehicles. Please read and abide by the instructions, below. Give me a 4-hour window in which you will actually come for them if chosen. This time window should start no earlier than 12 hours after you email to express interest, but does not have to be as early as 12 hours after you email! I would rather have an accurate time estimate a bit farther in the future than a time that really doesn't work for you so that you end up backing out. I check my email typically 2-3 times a day, so you can expect some delay before I respond to your request. I can leave the box outside for pickup if I will not be home when you want to come, but I get enough lead time to do this. No-shows go to the bottom of my list in the future.
