Marble pieces (Harrogate HG1)
Slab of marble 17mm thick, but which was knocked over from where it was propped up against a fence and so unfortunately shattered into these pieces. Smaller rectangular-ish piece of different marble, less colourful, 2cm thick. Both are grimy and will look better after a wash/scrub. N.B. Re- the photos, there are two of the larger slab, one of the pieces upside down and one with the more colourful side face up.

Baby Album, unused, old (Harrogate HG1)
Baby Photo Album for a newborn. Unused gift. Decades old. In nice condition mostly. Just some discoloration of the first page (see photos). This could be embellished artistically with a little bit of creative imagination.

Free:
Folding Camping Stool (Harrogate HG1)
Folding stool for camping/garden/picnics etc. It's maybe about 15 years old at the most/at a guess! Staining to back of fabric is probably due to it having got a bit damp where it was stored in an old summer house every winter. Still seems robust.

Kids' football (Harrogate HG1)
Small-ish football. Needs pumping up.

Free:
Ceramic Baking Dish (with fine cracks) (Harrogate HG1)
Gifted
Rectangular oven-to-tableware lasagne/shepherd's pie-type dish. Has some fine cracks, so could continue to be used in the oven, but at your own risk. The underside is not glazed and is therefore porous. Perhaps someone has another use for it. It's a nice-looking dish. Dimensions: 32cm x 27cm.

Free:
Slice of Wood/Wooden Sign/Number Base (Harrogate HG1)
Gifted
A slice of very nice wood. Perhaps suitable for attaching your house number to? It was a gift with a religious verse/prayer on the other side but it was never displayed. The small grey patch is I think a bit of adhesive left from a label which was stuck to it when it was bought. This should sand off easily.

Free:
Anglepoise lamp (Harrogate HG1)
Gifted
Large anglepoise lamp. Quite old! Includes fitting to attach it to a wall or solid piece of furniture. N.B. There is no base, so it can not be placed on a surface. Works fine. Someone who knows about wiring might want to tidy up the DIY job - see close-up photo of wire end. We have used this for decades, attached to the side of a solid wooden desk, but it is no longer needed.

Soap dish/rack (wall-mountable option) (Harrogate HG1)
Withdrawn
Soap dish designed to be but has never been wall-mounted. Can be used just standing with the solid tray section catching the drops. Bought from Lakeland Plastics in the 1990s. Still in good condition.

Unused Child's Bathtime Fun Whale Sponge/Flannel (Harrogate HG1)
Withdrawn
Fun stuffed flannel whale with small patch of loofah on the underbelly. Fun for a small child's bathtime. Never used. Unused gift. Has been hanging on a hook in the bathroom as a decoration for a few years! Recently washed to freshen him up. Starting to show signs of age. Who'd like to give this Whale-Sponge a last fling before his time is up?!

Suitcase, small, old-ish style (Harrogate HG1)
Gifted
Small, dark-blue vinyl(?) suitcase. Perhaps useful for storage. Good condition. A bit awkward to fasten and unfasten if you want to use the straps/buckles, otherwise the zip works fine.

Free:
Shoe brush set (Harrogate HG1)
Gifted
Shoe brush set. Press-stud fastener extremely stiff to open and close. Still a neat way of storing the brushes, though. Could just hold it closed with an elastic band.

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.

Gifted
Piece of very old sticky-backed plastic. No guarantee that it will still stick, BUT it IS still stuck to its backing paper. Dimensions: 45cm top to bottom. 41cm wide.

Free:
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.
