Frame and/or canvas print (ME13)
A decent wood effect frame with gold detail measures 64 x 90cm plus a faded canvas print still on its stretcher, and measures 51 x 77cm. The print is also decent quality and could be reused as a canvas for a new painting. I'm happy to give these away separately or together.

Large hamster cage (ME13)
Large hamster cage from "Pets at Home". It has two levels, two ladders and top access door. It comes with a food bowl, bedroom pod, water bottle, and everything has been cleaned and sterilized. It doesn't have the play tubes anymore, unfortunately, but these can be bought cheaply from Amazon. Otherwise it will need two caps to block off the exit/entrance holes. I must have given those away with the tubes oops!

Preserved foods (ME13)
Expired
This all comes from my partner's pantry. I don't eat any of these things, and they are a bit out of date. There's Inulin powder, dated Sept 25 and some unopened hemp seed powder. The Won Ton Soup powder was opened but is in date. The rest is not but is fermented or high in sugar such as red wine vinegar, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, golden syrup, maple syrup, treacle. There are beans/chick peas. Salt and black pepper in a grinder. Ill empty it all and recycle end of week.

Humane mousetrap (ME13)
Expired
This trap was homemade by someone many years ago, the lid has a little flap which only opens one way, trapping the mouse inside. The jar needs to be taken at least 2 miles away to prevent mouse from finding its way back. The jar is a new clean one, I chose a square one so it cant roll about, but any of right diameter should work.

Three big kilner jars (ME13)
Gifted
There are three two litre? Kilner jars here, which are clean and have glass tops, but alas no metal rings. They are the old sort meaning you cant get the rings from new, as modern screw threads are different, but they can be bought online from ebay or just go to . This small company sells all things Kilner, including vintage spares, I just don't have time for preserving large quantities of anything myself.
