Free: Butane gas MSF 1 CRV 227g cannister (HR1 Tupsley) Gifted I have 4 of these 227g cannisters. I bought them by mistake several years ago and have been waiting for some device which uses this design. See pictures for connection type. They have surface rust but otherwise appear to be in fine condition. They are marked Yellowstone which I assume is a camping brand of some sort. Collect more-or-less any time as I leave items in the car-port for collection once I am given an approximate time.

Free: Wall Lights (HR1 Tupsley) Expired These wall lights have been in store since we replaced them with a more modern pair. The sockets are standard BC. The wall brackets each contain a pull cord to activate the switch inside . There are some rust marks on the mounts which I have not attempted to remove or improve. The mounts are metal so will need an Earth connection when wired up. One of the shades has a chip on the mounting ring. This does not affect secure fitting. Do ask for more details if the photos are insufficient.

Free: 3" tall polished metal container (HR1 Tupsley) Expired I had no idea what this is but it has now been identified as a toothpick dispenser! Many thanks to the several contributors of correct and incorrect identifications. I can still do without, very nicely made 'tho it is. It appears to be made of brushed and polished stainless steel. The outside of the cylinder and lid is polished; the inside and moving parts brushed. The cone is loose on the stem which is why the third photo shows the device horizontal.
