Collection of sharpening stones (Park-Monroe Neighborhood)
Gifted
My husband seems to have been Very into knife sharpening back in the day, and collected all kinds of specialized sharpening tools. These include four sharpening stones, three coarse/fine, plus one brace to hold knife at proper angle. To be honest, neither one of us is quite sure what the small (obviously well used) white lump in the little plain white box is, but it must be some kind of sharpening stone.

Antique leather bike helmet (Park-Monroe Neighborhood)
Gifted
Not suggesting anyone use this as a helmet!! But as part of a costume, or as “vintage decor” … something like that. It’s just kinda cool/amusing.

Trekking pole tips (various kinds) (Park-Monroe Neighborhood)
Gifted
Includes baskets, two types of tips, and clips for trekking poles. Gave the trekking poles away about a year ago and only happened to find the bag with these items in it today (oops). Hope they might be useful to someone!

String of LED lights, ~63” long (Park-Monroe Neighborhood)
Gifted
This came with the new bed frame I got recently; cute idea but not my sort of thing. Evidently they are multicolor, maybe programmable? Comes with instructions. USB connection for power.

Small heap of cotton padding (Park-Monroe Neighborhood)
Expired
You know how pill bottles often come with a “plug” of cotton at the top? This offering represents a whole bunch of those, plus similar from other packaging (yes, I’m a crazy woman to have collected it, but it just seemed like it would be useful for *some*thing… someday… ha! :). Thinking maybe small stuffed toy? Very small pillow? Hoping someone feels more creative than I do. :)

Large Pyrex... Container? (Park-Monroe Neighborhood)
Gifted
...Or perhaps a cover for a statue or other object you wish to protect. I'm not sure what to call this thing and have no idea why (or where) my husband bought this thing, but it certainly isn't getting used here. It might be used as a terrarium...? Or, as I say, as a display case for an object (stuffed bird? vintage doll?). Hope someone out there has a vision!

Replacement scratching posts (Park-Monroe Neighborhood)
Gifted
Has kitty worn out the posts on your current scratching tree? Maybe you can just replace them with these! It just depends on the size of the bolts holding them on. (I got these hoping to do just that, but then it turned out the bolts on the current one didn't fit these.) Could be worth a try? Cheaper than a whole new post, anyhow!

Tea chest (Park-Monroe Neighborhood)

Beautiful solid wood tea chest (complete with lots of teas!) - unfortunately, I'm a coffee-person, and it's just not getting used. This needs to be living with a confirmed tea drinker. :)

Men’s Fischer XC skis and poles (Park-Monroe Neighborhood)
Expired
“Vintage” Fischer cross country skis (they are old, but have been used very little). 187 cm, step-in bindings, all in good condition. Should work with any boot with the “bar across the toe” design (see closeup photo of the piece of boot sole). Excel poles, very long (former owner was tall).

Four old fashioned metronomes (Park-Monroe Neighborhood)
Gifted
The two black ones are battery powered; small one is a Seiko, larger one is a Sabine (“Quartz Metronome”). The other two are self-powered: wind them up with their key and off they go, emitting a nice loud tick-tock. The wind-ups are both Wittner, a German brand. All functional. (I realize everyone probably uses an app for this purpose nowadays, but hoping maybe there are a few musicians who like mechanical tools…?)

Nifty wooden “organizer box” (Park-Monroe Neighborhood)
Gifted
Full disclosure: I rescued this little gem when someone was throwing it out because it just seemed so …nifty! I cleaned it all up and it’s quite a handsome little unit. But after a couple of months, I still haven’t figured out what to use it for (bummer). So I hope someone else can and will give it a good home. :)

Kenmore microwave oven (Park-Monroe Neighborhood)
Gifted
Somewhat elderly but still in good working condition. Dimensions: 22” wide by 16” deep by 12.5” high. Plate inside is 14” diameter. Full disclosure: I have fixed the stem that turns the plate twice now, can’t guarantee how long this fix will last (but the previous fixes lasted for years). Still safe to use if plate doesn’t turn, just food won’t get evenly heated.

3 landline phones (Park-Monroe Neighborhood)
Gifted
Two white AT&T desktop phones, one red wall phone with small “alert” light on top (flashes when phone is ringing). The white ones need new batteries to enable caller id, but all work fine in terms of simply being (old style! Ha) phones.

Glass ball for rooting plants (Park-Monroe Neighborhood)
Gifted
Lovely, hand blown glass sphere designed to be filled with water, hung up and used to start new plants from cuttings (“rooting” them). Even still has the original tiny sheet of instructions. The box displays its age, but the item itself is like-new condition.

Small hibachi grill with chimney (Park-Monroe Neighborhood)
Gifted
Small but heavy duty (and heavy) hibachi, comes with a piece of sheet metal to put it on, a “chimney” for starting the charcoal, the very end of a bag of charcoal and a partial can of lighter fluid. Hibachi has two separate grills that can be positioned independently, nearer or farther away from the fire. Handy and fun; we just don’t use it anymore (sadly). Oh well! Hope this makes someone else’s day. :)

Very large canvas carry-all (Park-Monroe Neighborhood)
Gifted
Capacious, sturdy luggage sack with multiple handles (removable shoulder strap, pair of handles top center, large handle at one end [last photo]), in good condition. My husband once used it for hockey gear - if you have a child doing sports with lots of gear, this would be great.

Unusual large Pyrex glass dome (Park-Monroe Neighborhood)
Expired
This is pretty odd, it’s like something the Victorians would have put over a stuffed bird statue or something. 8” diameter, about 18” high. I really wasn’t sure how to title this post: it could be used as a “covering” item - a dome - or as a (deep) container (for a terrarium? an ant farm?).
