Misc. tennis stuff (Petworth/ Park View)
Promised
Not a tennis player myself, so I can’t tell if these accoutrements are in useable condition. The ball caddy had two long handles but they were severely damaged and I threw them out.

Narrow wooden shelf (Petworth/ Park View)
This was a floating shelf, but one of its brackets has gone missing, so most likely you will need to use regular brackets to put it up. I have looked for a replacement, but it seems to be a non-standard size: the holes are 5” deep, and the bracket a little shorter. The shelf itself is stained but not sealed or polyurethaned. It’s pretty heavy for its size. Dimensions: 3 feet long (wide) 5.5” deep 1.5” thick

Kits for hanging files in boxes (Petworth/ Park View)
These are frames for converting a suitable drawer or box to enable you to use hanging files in it. The side rails are scored for shortening them if needed. Two kits, but sadly one is missing one of its side rails- but perhaps you can improvise a replacement?

Tomato seedlings (Hyattsville, MD)
Promised
These tomato seedlings are volunteers so I am unsure of the variety. However, I strongly believe that they are cherry tomatoes based on where they were discovered. Approx 15 shown here.

The light is white. The bracket affixes to a round pole. The E90 batteries are dead, but in the photo for reference. They don’t work with my battery charger or I would have recharged them.

Cuisinart ice cream maker (Petworth/ Park View)
Promised
Works fine as far as I can tell. It doesn’t have to do much, just rotate. It’s missing the freezable bowl, but you can easily buy a replacement on ebay for about $20. It’s from the “Ice-20” series of machines, so search for “Cuisinart ice cream maker ice-20 bowl” to see the options.

Down pillows (NW DC — 20011)
Two down pillows — recently washed and dried/freshened in sun, but they probably need another round of this treatment OR some more elaborate refurbishing to get the feathers back to original shape.

Hand-sewn Barbie 2-pc swimsuit (Petworth/ Park View)
What was I thinking? Upon request I altered a one-piece swimsuit into a two-piece swimsuit. Three pieces of elastic were added, so the suit will not fall off Barbie. Now Barbie is boring. such are the fruits of time. However, another child may glean the benefit of my painstaking labors.

Shelves have been polyurethaned Edges measure 9.5” and 5.5” Depth from back corner to middle of opposite side is 10.5” Brackets are intended for wall mounting I will remove the screws from the brackets before giving them to you. I can explain how to mount the brackets if it’s not clear to you.

Great child-proof lock system (Petworth/ Park View)
Works with a strong magnet, so it’s easy to get duplicate “keys”. One key is included. This lock system works fantastically. You can even set individual locks “on the latch”, i.e., temporarily unlocked and prevented from locking. The only downside is that you have to drill holes in the doors or drawers where you place the locks.

Hard plastic “wobble wedges” (Petworth/ Park View)
Use these instead of folded up paper under wobbly furniture. Actually I haven’t found them particularly useful. Maybe they need to be combined with something sticky or rubbery to prevent slipping out of place.

Lamp kit WITHOUT lampshade (Petworth/ Park View)
Promised
Unfortunately the star-shaped lampshade got torn many years ago. Buy a new lampshade or create your own for this versatile kit. Use with an incandescent bulb over 40 watts may scorch paper lampshades or even set them on fire! LED bulbs are probably better. Plastic lampshades might melt, scorch or ignite at even lower temperatures, so be careful with creative upcycling.

Pair of kids’ walkie-talkies (Petworth/ Park View)
Promised
Each uses one 9-volt battery. Both still work, despite battered appearance. Some buttons are fake. The antenna covers have had holes chewed in them by a cat, but you could cut off those bits or remove the covers altogether.
