Shoe Polisher (battery operated) (Bramley LS13)

Unfortunately I do not have any of these batteries to check if it works or not. It DID work at last use before being put into storage however some idiot (probably me) didn't remove the batteries - please see images, think batteries in situ have corroded however I have had items in the past still work despite this.
There's some superficial damage to case of the handheld device. There is no brown polish present, the black one is and it feels and smells as should and I'm not sure polish goes off anyway?

Due to not knowing if the item works, I am offering this to be delivered, home or public place is fine. Would feel a bit of an idiot having someone going out of their way to collect this and it then not work.
Please note that I am in the LS13/12 area and will only deliver within Leeds, somewhere I consider reasonable and not putting me out of pocket to gift this item due to the above.

Recipient is considered/chosen in chronologic order of enquiry. Sorry for this, I just want rid of items that I no longer have use for and don't want to be hanging on to them.

So, just to be reiterate, it is UNKNOWN if this item will work or not.
