Battery DL123/CR123A 3V Lithium (Kidlington OX5)
Hello, I'm looking for the above battery - any brand, it doesn't need to be new, just anything that has a tiny bit of life in it! I have an old film camera which takes this battery type - I just need the camera to turn on so that I can see if the film currently in it has been used or not. If anyone has a spare battery of this type around Kidlington/Summertown/Oxford location then let me know! Thank you.

De-icer (Kidlington OX5)
As per photos - a can of de-icer and a smaller de-icer for locks. They are both old (hence the rust on the can), but I have tested both and the spray comes out, so hopefully would still do the job okay. Collect from Kidlington or Summertown.

Gifted
Wooden towel rail. Just removed from the wall as will be replaced by a grab rail. Needs a bit of a clean up. It attaches to the wall by screwing in 4 screws (2 each side) and then hanging the bracket on to the screws (and looks like a few sticky pads were also put on the bracket for added attachment to the wall). The length of the rail plus both brackets is approx 58cm. Collect from either Kidlington or Summertown.

Bottle of Castrol Edge car oil 5W-40. The bottle is about 3/4 full. No longer needed as the car it was compatible with is sadly no more!

Wooden clock - electrical (Kidlington OX5)
Gifted
Wooden electrical clock. The brand is Ferranti - art deco style probably from the 1930s. It is electrical so would need new wiring to make it work. Thought it worth posting in case anyone with a love for old clocks/or has electrical knowledge wants to get it back in working order. It is approx 15cm high and 24cm wide. Collect from Kidlington.

Microwave turntable support (Summertown OX2)
Expired
As per the photos. I'm afraid I don't know what brand/model of microwave this came from. It measures approx 11.3cm from the centre to the end of the white bit on the arm. The centre bit is in the shape of a cross and has the letter 'B' marked into the plastic. It is old, but I can't see any reason why it wouldn't still work!

Chair pads x 4 (Summertown OX2)
Gifted
Four chair pads - previously used for kitchen chairs. Light green floral design. Two of the pads have been very well used - these are flatter and have some marks on (they have been washed and the marks are not obvious due to the floral pattern). The other two are more 'puffy' - one looks like it hasn't been used at all, the other slightly. The pads should have two ties in each corner to attach them to the chair - these are missing on one of the pads, there is one tie on two of the pads and the unused pad has both ties! The pads are square and 40-45cm in width/length - the variation depends on how 'puffy' the pad still is. Collect from either Kidlington or Summertown.

Free:
Tapesty wool and embroidery thread (Summertown OX2)
Gifted
Mixed, large selection of tapestry wools and smaller selection of embroidery threads. They are mostly the brand DMC - they are quite old so the numbers on the threads (relating to the colour) may well be long out of date. They are partly used, so the length of wool/thread varies on each one. Collect from either Kidlington or Summertown.

Free:
Shopping trolley (Summertown OX2)
Gifted
Modern floral pattern. It has had plenty of wear - there are some scuffs, some tears and probably could do with a bit of a clean. But also hopefully plenty of life left in it yet! One of the wheels is slightly wobbly, but no signs that it would fall off. Height from floor to top of handle is 95cm. Collect from either Kidlington or Summertown.

Free:
Bathroom scales (Summertown OX2)
Gifted
Bathroom scales by Lakeland. Instruction booklet enclosed. Takes 1 x CR2032 battery. In working order as far as I can tell (my weight on these scales is consistent with other bathroom scales). Have given them a clean, but a few marks remain. There is one silver tab missing off the bottom left hand side, as can be seen on the photo (I can't see that the tab has any functional role). There is a slight chip in the glass top left hand side which isn't sharp and bearly noticeable. Collect from either Kidlington or Summertown.

BT wifi hotspot extender kit (Summertown OX2)
Gifted
Mini wi-fi home hotspot 500 kit by BT. We didn't use it in the end - I am pretty sure it is working (lights come on when plugged in), but could not 100% guarantee. The instructions are missing, but can be found and downloaded from the internet. Collect from either Kidlington or Summertown.

Fabric (Summertown OX2)

Free:
Kitchen bin (Kidlington OX5)
Gifted
Contains 2 bins. The top bin lifts out - the button controlling the lid on the top isn't working well hence the lid is always open! It might be fixable, I'm not too sure. The bottom bin comes out with a foot pedal (there was a little handle on the front of the bottom bin which snapped off, but it's still okay to get the bin out to empty it). So it's not in the best condition overall but it does still work as a bin! Dimensions are: Height = 77cm, Width = 32cm and Depth = 30cm. Collect from Kidlington or Summertown

Waterproof shower seal (to protect a cast or bandages) (Summertown OX2)
Gifted
I think this item is a waterproof shower seal. The length is 66 cm. I think the blue strap is to ensure a secure fit at the top of the plastic around the elastic (as found on a YouTube video). It is old as found in a cupboard whilst at my parents house, but apart from a little yellowing, it looks in good condition. Collect from Kidlington or Summertown.
