Vintage paper/fine card wedding photo holders. Portrait and Landscape. Decades old. Most are in very good condition. A few have the odd small age spot. Adds to the vintage character?!

Play Balls, various (Harrogate HG1)
Gifted
Various balls. Mostly plastic. A couple of foam ones. N.B. The two little ones might look like ping pong balls in the photo, but they are not - they're slightly smaller than ping pong balls.

Row of hanging pegs (Harrogate HG1)
Gifted
Plastic, wall-mountable set of 8 pegs. Pegs slope very slightly upwards, so whatever's hanging on them won't slide off. I don't think this has ever been used. Has 2 holes for screws to attach it to a wall. About 35cm long.

Slate Planter (Harrogate HG1)

Organic White Tea bags (Harrogate HG1)
Withdrawn
Organic White Tea in unbleached bags. Almost full - I think 1 bag has been used. Out-of-date but does this really matter? I'm sure it does not. Has been stored in a sealed tin in a clean, dry kitchen cupboard.

Large bucket (Harrogate HG1)
Gifted
Large plastic bucket, I think possibly a brewing bucket? We've used it for years for making summer and autumn fruit jellies. No longer needed. A bit of the outer rim has cracked off, but it's still a perfectly functioning and very useful bucket. Dimensions are: 39cm high; diameter 33cm.

Umbrella (Harrogate HG1)
Gifted
Black umbrella. Folding/Compact type. Manual lift, i.e. it opens by hand, not by pressing a button. I am of average strength and can put this umbrella up easily but it does require an slightly firm push to click it into place. This is not the reason for passing it on. It is surplus to requirements, that's all.

I think this is a screw-on carry-handle for a gas cylinder, left over from caravanning days, I'm guessing.

King Size Duvet Cover (Harrogate HG1)
Gifted
King Size Duvet Cover. 100% Cotton. Good quality cotton. One tiny L-shaped tear and one tiny mark - see photos. I am not passing this on because of the tear but because of down-sizing. The tiny tear could easily be repaired with a few neat stitches or could look interesting with a contrasting patch.

Violin bow, needs repairing (Harrogate HG1)
Gifted
Violin bow. In need of repair. Adjuster has gone. Needs to be replaced to be able to tighten and loosen the bow. The head piece at the other end has gone. The bow will work without this. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is a purely cosmetic component of a violin bow. End-to-end, 73cm.

Hanging shelf brackets (Harrogate HG1)
Gifted
4 hanging shelf brackets. These have been used for many decades to hang a plank shelf from the underside of the mezzanine loft in a garage. They hooked onto large nails hammered into the cross-beams of the mezzanine and of course the plank shelf then just sat on them and provided some very useful extra shelving. Please note, the brackets have been photographed upside down. Sorry! The hooks obviously go at the top!

Vintage Mirror (Harrogate HG1)
Gifted
This vintage mirror from I believe the end of the 1920s or early 1930s was originally attached to the wall with dome-shaped chrome mirror screws above the white glass splashback of a substantial washbasin and solid wood vanity unit. It is in fairly good condition, considering its vintage and the fact that it's been stored in a garage for a few decades. It could be cleaned up and used as it is, for a total vintage look, or re-silvered to give it a new lease of life. It is curved on the top corners. Dimensions: Height: 53.5cm Width: 63.5cm
