Optical illusion toys (New Malden KT3) Withdrawn 16d - Aluminium toys that you spin on a table and stare at the centres for maybe 20 seconds. Then look away and things look really weird. Especially the back of your hand.

side table - project (New Malden KT3) Gifted 17d - This is an very old hexagonal side table, with extensive marquetry. Unfortunately the top has quite a few pieces missing (including many white ones, which don't appear to be wood). Also some corner bits of wood on the side are missing. This should be regarded as a project - maybe restoration, maybe reimagining it in a different form. Please let me know what you intend to do with it.

Dynamic kaleidoscope (New Malden KT3) Gifted 29d - This is 40 years old but still works fine. The tube is full of glittery stuff and when oriented vertically, streams bits past the end of the kaleidoscope so the pattern changes rapidly. The box is well past its sell by date though. So you may have to rebox it if you want to gift it.

Craft box (New Malden KT3) Gifted 32d - Multi-section in raised lid part plus a larger section below. The clips that hold the lid down are tight as there has been some distortion of the plastic. The lid has some paint of something on the top which stops seeing clearly through some of the translucent lid.

Collection of rotring drawing pens and ink (New Malden KT3) Gifted 59d - These have been sitting in a box for very many years so will be well dried out. However I do know they come apart easily enough so can probably be soaked into working condition. Multiple thickness nips are visible plus some still liquid blue, black and red drawing inks. maybe for collectors or going down memory lane.

sewing machine - old (New Malden KT3) Gifted 205d - This is a Viscount sewing machine, model 1320F. It is in working conditions (just tried a few of the stich settings), but I'm sure it would love a service. This is a 'mechanical' sewing machine, in that the internals are all cogs and cams - no computers. It is electric, with a foot pedal to operate it. As you can see from the pictures, it has its original manual. Fair offer policy applies - I will wait a couple of days before selecting a recipient (if there is more than one request), and I will choose based upon your response (why you want it etc) and your location (closer is good).

Blue leather three seater sofa (New Malden KT3) Expired 206d - This is a reclining sofa, but the plastic release handles on the sides snapped. Amazon offer replacements but I've no idea if they fit or not. Some of the leather on the outside edge of the arm on the left has some unravelled stitching - see the photo. Otherwise all the leather is okay and the sofa is comfortable, although quite low. The sofa comes apart into three slices, so fits relatively easily through doorways. I don't know if the sofa has fire labeling, its probably about 20 years old.

High vis vest - Large (New Malden KT3) Expired 255d - Unopened, from Tesco. Apparently complies to EN471 so may (?) be appropriate for keeping in your car when traveling on the continent - where I believe such things are required by law.
