Small round table (Aylestone LE2)
Expired
A small round table, 29 inches height, 30 inches diameter. Age unknown. It's a light table for it's size. Solid wood, type unknown, possibly mahogany. I bought this for a new home, but it turns out to be too big for the place in mind, and it has nowhere to go at the moment, so it has to find a new home. Light scratches on top, slight knocks on it's legs, nothing major, one small section of beading missing at the top of one leg. A nice little table for the right place.

Vintage Raleigh road bike (Aylestone LE2)
Gifted
Had this on ebay and disgusted it has not sold, so here it is. Please, this is for someone who appreciates vintage bikes, it is not modern! I am guessing a 1950's or 1960's Raleigh road bike. 27 inch frame, ie, 63 cm from centre of the bottom bracket (pedals) to top of the frame at the seat. So this is a large. Has had regular use, but been idle in my shed a couple of years. No problems. I noticed after taking the photo that the chain had come off the deraillier, and have popped it back on. That was just from the wheels turning while I dragged it out of the shed. Tyres look good, have retained air for a couple of weeks after being topped up. I bought new tyres not long ago. Will need checking over, cleaning, adjustment before use this year. The bike has not been restored and is original, with a non original luggage rack.

Two vintage canvas tents (Aylestone LE2)
Gifted
Two old (maybe 1930's-50's) thin canvas single person tents. These are for the vintage enthusiast, not someone who prefers modern fabrics and sewn in groundsheets! Lovely to use, but def summer tents. The white one has poles and better condition, the grey one no poles and some old repairs, needs tlc. made for hiking, fairly light weight, fine cotton. There is something about canvas tents I love, more connection, less plastic, but I have others and need to thin out.

Heavy mattock (Aylestone LE2)

Meter for experimenter (Aylestone LE2)

This is actually an electrician's loop tester, but appears non functional. I do not reccommend using for mains testing as this clearly will not be to current regs and likely faulty. But in a nice box and could be of use to someone. Been in my shed for years.

Lime tree (Aylestone LE2)
Gifted
A young and healthy lime tree in a pot. The tree comes in to leaf every year, and is just about to. It is in a fairly small container and would be much happier planted out, but of course limes can grow to a large size. A container will limit it's growth, but it has likely outgrown this one. Height about ten foot. Will need suitable transport, and ideally two people with a barrow to move.
