Ex integrated fridge (Kennington OX1)
Withdrawn
Does anyone have a use for an old fridge that kind of works, or the parts? It still cooled but struggled to cool enough, and I couldn't find any way to get to the thermostat in case that was the issue. Also the door had a tendency to randomly open of it's own accord. The door is now separate because it was built in to the cupboard door, but hinges are available. There are also assorted shelves. Collect from Kennington, please say when you could come.

Very old pair of court shoes (Kennington OX1)
Very old pair of court shoes, belonged to my mother who wore them just a couple of times in the 1960s. I have no idea whether it's possible to restore them in some way? Dye them? Or maybe just for dressing up? They are good quality but the cream silky fabric has developed 'age spots'. On the sole it says 6 1/2 but they won't go near my feet so I'm guessing they're nearer a size 4. Collect from Kennington, please say when you could come.

Partially working fairy lights (Kennington OX1)
A long string of 'old-fashioned' (i.e. not LED) fairy lights, partially working. Originally this was a very long string which has been broken. This section (still several metres) has at least three working sections and potentially could be fully working if the faulty bulbs could be identified. Includes a tub of bulbs taken from the broken off end, most of which are probably working. It needs someone with the time and patience to work through to identify and replace the problem bulbs.
