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

Bakeware (Cleveland Park)
Downsizing surplus kitchen ware. Can you use these? Cookie sheet, 15” x 9.75” (exterior dimensions); useful not just for cookies but for popular “sheet pan” recipes Square cake pan, 8” x 8” (interior dimensions) Round cake pan, 8.75” diameter; the “slide” that you see is a clever way to remove the cake or cheesecake, etc. easily and neatly, so that this functions much like a springform pan Small oven-safe or cooling rack, 10” (at widest) x 6” None has a label, but I think the pans are Ecko, a good midmarket brand. In-person pickup at Connecticut Ave. apartment building, near Zoo, between Woodley and Cleveland Park metros. If you come by car, short-term parking in our driveway is fine. Flexible timing Friday June 19 through Sunday June 21, EXCEPT no pickup Saturday morning. Thanks for your interest! See my separate listing for Corning ware and Pyrex, if that also appeals to you.

Vintage Corning ware and Pyrex (Cleveland Park)
Downsizing surplus kitchen ware. Can you use these? 6” diameter Corning ware “cornflower” saucepan, 1.5 cup 6” diameter Corning ware “cornflower” saucepan, 2 cup 8.75” diameter Pyrex casserole, with Pyrex lid and bonus snug plastic cover (for potlucks etc.), 2 quarts The Pyrex lid has a small chip on one edge. The two Corning ware saucepans share a lid. (They originally had two, but one broke.) It too has a small chip on the rim. They are not sharp-edged and do not affect safety. This is good stuff. The Corning ware is stovetop, microwave, and oven safe. The Pyrex is microwave and oven safe. The Corning ware is early 1970s, and the Pyrex is late 1980s or early 1990s. Vintage pieces are (supposedly) in great demand. As they should be…they’re sturdy and versatile and better than what’s made today! See /.

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.

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)
