Free: Collectable Rolls Razor. Shaving kit. (Fareham PO15) Promised Rolls razor outfit, probably from the 1950s. It consists of a wet razor with a blade that can be sharpened and honed by sliding it back and forth inside the box. One side of the box should have an abrasive strip for sharpening, but this is missing. The other side has a leather strip for honing, which is present. You probably won't want to shave with it, but you might be interested to see what your grandad used.

Free: Cordless drill with dead battery (Fareham PO15) Gifted Budget brand cordless drill with charger. The charger appears to work, but the battery doesn't take a charge. It's a popular 14.4 volt battery size, so if you have a battery from another item you might be able to use the drill.

Free: Collectable etched glass soda syphon (Fareham PO15) Gifted Glass soda syphon with the name "Southern Table Water Co" etched on it. It's more of interest as a decorative item for your bar than for serious use. It's not the sort that takes your own CO2 bulbs. In its day it would have been refilled and charged by the company.

Free: Ring car starter. Needs attention. (Fareham PO15) Gifted Ring Car Starter, emergency battery charger. Please read the following description as it is not usable in its present state. This device contains a 12V battery. If your car battery goes flat, you can then recharge it from this one. That's the theory, but it does require you to keep the charger charged, otherwise it won't be any use when needed. This one has probably never been used and is now completely run down. Whether it can be revived I don't know, but it might give a bit of fun to someone who likes tinkering.
