Perfection timed 1-person game (Petworth/ Park View)
By Milton Bradley (R) Timer and associated mechanics work great. No batteries needed! Pieces are stored in a handy integrated compartment. 3 pieces are missing but it’s still a pretty good challenge. I think you can buy a replacement set of pieces.

Cuisinart ice cream maker (Petworth/ Park View)
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.

Toy clothespins (Petworth/ Park View)

- Over 15 of them - Plastic and wood - The wooden ones have a little bit of adhesive on one edge- they were originally stuck on a greeting card I have held onto these for decades because they are so cute but have never found a use for them- maybe you will?

Non-dairy Pumpkin spice creamer (Petworth/ Park View)
Withdrawn
Two different brands of sugar-free, non-dairy coconut and almond based creamer with natural pumpkin and spice flavors. Both “best before” 2022 but they should be safe to eat because they’re shelf stable until opened.

Snow brush for car (Petworth/ Park View)

NEW wooden floating shelf (Petworth/ Park View)

New with instructions and all hardware. The wood is a veneer, and the shelf is hollow, making it lightweight compared to solid wood. 3’ long x 9” deep x 1.5” thick

3 pkgs old frozen TJ beef tamales (Petworth/ Park View)
Gifted
TJ = Trader Joe’s 2 tamales per package We are vegetarian; a meat-eating housemate abandoned these a couple of years ago in our freezer. There’s no discernable expiration dates on these. I tried one of the vegetarian tamales today and it tasted good but YMMV. To keep them frozen we will need to plan a specific pick-up time when I am at home- but I am at home most days.

Boot rack (wood & black plastic) (Petworth/ Park View)
Gifted
I have another one of these which has turned up. This one is in better condition. You put the boots upside down on the pegs or whatever you call them. The underneath of the wood has little rubber feet. Honestly it’s not very sturdy because it’s made of chipboard under a veneer. So don’t immerse it in water or kick it really hard, or the chipboard will probably start to crumble. The other boot rack got one of the pegs loose from some type of mistreatment.

NEW kids M bike helmet (Petworth/ Park View)
Gifted
New in box, but the box has gotten a bit squashed. We ordered the next size up when our kid outgrew the small size of this brand of helmet, however, for some reason, the medium size just didn’t fit right. So it was tried on once, and never used. Bern brand. Youth size medium. Pink grapefruit color.

Scrubbers to clean window frames (Petworth/ Park View)
Gifted
Two of them New, never used The gray scrubber parts feel like green dish scrubber pads. The handles can open to replace the scrubbers, but there’s no company/brand name on them so I don’t know how you would ever find replacement scrubbers.

Boot rack (wood & black plastic) (Petworth/ Park View)
Gifted
You put the boots upside down on the pegs or whatever you call them. The underneath of the wood has little rubber feet. Honestly it’s not very sturdy because it’s made of chipboard under a veneer. One or more of the pegs is a bit loose because the chipboard has chipped away around its screw. But it will still function perfectly well so long as it gets treated gently. So better to use it in a closet than right by the front door.

Organic Vegan GF egg replacer (Petworth/ Park View)
Gifted
“Best by” date is January 2024, but - the only two ingredients are chia seeds and chickpeas, and - bag is unopened. There’s no way that this vacuum-packed product can have gone “bad” since 2024. Contains the equivalent of 34 eggs. Use in recipes where egg is a binder (this will be mostly baking recipes).
