Two 1 gram jars of saffron (Petworth/ Park View)
Gifted
One jar is sealed with plastic shrink wrapped over the cork. The other jar has been opened and the cork was crumbling so I covered it with the foil and rubber band as seen. However it looks like it has the same amount as the sealed jar. These both say “BBE 2007”, presumably that means “best before.”

Partial Lego Mindstorms EV3 set (Petworth/ Park View)
Gifted
Unfortunately the booklet is missing, as are the main parts that make up the robots. However if you already have some of this line of Lego, these might extend your building capacity. If you take this partial set, I will keep your contact information in case the booklet or missing pieces ever turn up in my house. I feel 80% sure that they never left the building.

6-foot yew tree branch (Petworth/ Park View)
Gifted
Could be useful and/or artistic. I cut this off a tree a few years ago and have finally realized that I don’t have a use for it. It’s very strong and rot-resistant.

Montgomery County is taking weeks to pick these up. If you have the equipment to haul them, they might give them away to you. Apparently each piece weighs more than a ton.

Half a costume for Hatsune Miku (Petworth/ Park View)
Gifted
Hatsune Miku is the main character in a mobile video game called Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage. The character wears various outfits which all feature similar styling but different color schemes. This is the top half of the sakura (cherry blossom) outfit. This is a costume for child size 12, approximately. Specifically the shirt is 16.5” across at the armpits and 13.5” at the waist. Collar is 16” circumference. For the detached sleeves, the elastic which goes around the upper arms is about 8” circumference unstretched, can stretch to about 11” circumference. Unfortunately my daughter got rid of the skirt separately.

2 pairs women’s tights size S-M (Petworth/ Park View)
Gifted
First pair is navy blue cotton-spandex in good used condition. These are very durable and soft. The feet are shaped to fit well. Low static. No holes or mends. Second pair is beige or “nude/flesh” color (obviously not the color of everyone’s skin tone) with extensive rhinestones stuck on the exterior. Has a few very small holes on the toes, as shown in photo. You can just dab clear nail polish on these to prevent them enlarging. Both are clean and from a non-smoking household. Both have a small amount of fuzz and cat hair on them.

Gifted
Originally black, now faded 10 sections which can snap together 24” wide x 12” high with 3.5” spikes to stick into the ground 2 end pieces which snap onto the large pieces Also some broken pieces: it looks like 2 of them could be cut up to get 2 more end pieces. You should know that these are pretty flimsy, so don’t use them anywhere that they are likely to get kicked or get stuff dropped on them.

Rolling locking file box (Petworth/ Park View)
Gifted
- Vaultz brand - Has combination locks (same code on each one)- code cannot be changed. - Has telescoping handle for rolling, two side handles for lifting. - Not terribly sturdy but strong enough to deflect a casual thief. - Has internal railings to hold hanging files, either legal or letter size. - Wear and tear: plenty of small scratches, a few smears of white paint, many tiny spots that might wash off with more focused scrubbing or solvent than I have used (I just went over it with a soapy sponge).

Narrow wooden shelf (Petworth/ Park View)
Gifted
This was a floating shelf, but one of its brackets has gone missing, so most likely you will need to use regular brackets to put it up. I have looked for a replacement, but it seems to be a non-standard size: the holes are 5” deep, and the bracket a little shorter. The shelf itself is stained but not sealed or polyurethaned. It’s pretty heavy for its size. Dimensions: 3 feet long (wide) 5.5” deep 1.5” thick

These are frames for converting a suitable drawer or box to enable you to use hanging files in it. The side rails are scored for shortening them if needed. Two kits, but sadly one is missing one of its side rails- but perhaps you can improvise a replacement?
