27mm injector socket (Astoria)
I think we used this with a socket wrench to get something off our boiler once. Never used since!

Enameled cast iron pot — some chips (Astoria)
Expired
Some old vintage brand, I think Descoware— I got it in a thrift store about 20 years ago. (Fun fact: exact same one is in the kitchen in Georgia O’Keeffe’s house in NM.) Enamel started to chip and I started using it for baking bread. The scorching inside can be scoured out. I’m not sure I’d use it to cook, but it does work great for bread. Capacity is about 4 quarts, maybe 5?

Paint tube squeezer (Astoria)
I think meant for those metal tubes of oil paint.

Pop filter for microphone (Astoria)
Nothing wrong with it. We just got a better one.

Canon printer ink cartridges (Astoria)
Zoom in to see the model number. I’m honestly not sure if they’re still usable. We got rid of this printer a couple of years ago and I only just found the cartridges in a drawer, so they’re old.

Cork boards (Astoria)
Green one is 18x18 inches. Yellow is about 18x22 inches. Cork is a bit shallow for my liking — you might want to add another layer to make these most useful.

IBM Selectric typewriter (Astoria)
Currently does not work (see second photo) but can be repaired. My husband has just gotten sick of getting it fixed every so often. It weighs a ton, so plan accordingly for pickup.

Wrist brace (Astoria)
to prevent rotation, not for general support (if you need one, you’ll know!)

Curb alert: scrap metal (Astoria)
Gifted
Looks like a ramp from a truck, possibly? In front of 31-24 28th Road, Astoria. Tomorrow is trash pickup. (Just the messenger — can’t answer more questions!)

LEFT thumb splint (Astoria)
Expired
Great German-made quality. I wore it for an afternoon and realized it wasn’t what I needed. This is shaped for a LEFT hand. Size per box is “1” — see circled measurements on box photo.

Official NYC trash bin (35 gallon) (Astoria)
Gifted
We got one of the new 25 gallon ones and don’t need this one anymore! Please take! (It’s not *sparkling* inside but it’s not gunky either.)

Fish oil capsules (Astoria)
Gifted
The dosage on these is too strong for me! Bottle is mostly full — probably took about 14 of them. 1400mg total, 646mg EPA and 253mg DHA.

Dell 25-inch monitor (Astoria)
Gifted
DELL U2518D, DisplayPort 2560 X 1440. Rotates vertical if you want. (Sorry for random photo — just proof of life!) Works fine but not as bright as it once was. Maybe 80%?

Lightbulbs — 1 flood, 3 “flame” (Astoria)
Gifted
Ideally you’d take them all! But willing to split up. Barely used — I think they still have a lot of life in them.

Assorted medicine bottles (Astoria)
Expired
Mostly brown. One nice bigger blue one. All with caps, most with droppers. All washed in a dishwasher but a lot of labels still on.

Office chair wheels (5) (Astoria)
Gifted
New. Fairly standard size pins but also can give you the slightly larger pins to swap in if your chair requires. They are very easy to switch in and out.

Adjustable chair (Astoria)
Gifted
Please someone take this cursed Kickstarter chair away. It’s physically a good chair, well built, adjusts in all snazzy ways. (See BeYou Furniture for details.) It’s like new — only used a few months. But it is NOT GOOD for shorter people working at a standard height desk — the max seat height is about 2 inches lower than standard office chairs go. I’m 5’5” and it’s just too annoyingly short — I really hurt my elbow using my mouse with it. EDITED: I was misremembering how the casters work -- the chair does roll with no weight on it, so conceivably if you lived nearby in Astoria, you could just roll this home down the sidewalk. Still, it weighs something like 60 pounds, so a car would be better for pickup.
