Free:
Jam jars (Walkley S6)
Gifted
8 empty jam / honey jars. Anyone want them for jam making etc before I put them in the recycling?
7d
Free:
WiFi repeater. Please read carefully (Walkley S6)
Gifted
WiFi Repeater. Works, but the plastic earth pin on the rotating plug on the back broke. We fixed it back on with glue (see second picture) and the repair held, but I can’t guarantee it would last, and could potentially break off while in a socket. So if you request this, consider yourself warned!

Jig-Map jigsaw puzzles (Walkley S6)
Gifted

20d
Free:
Violin - please read carefully (Walkley S6)
Gifted
3/4 size Skylark violin. Please note that this is NOT in playable condition at present - the neck is coming apart from the body (see second picture) and would need re gluing with specialist glue. This would need to be done by a specialist and would probably cost more than buying a comparable instrument second hand or even new (Skylark violins retailed at £25.00 new in the 1980s…). No bow or chin rest, and would also need restringing. The case does not close securely either. But if you are a trainee luthier who wants something to practise your repair skills on, or a visual artist who wants it for a project, get in touch. Priority will be given to someone who can collect by 14th August.

Gifted
6 albums of the picture cards that came with Brooke Bond tea. They date from the 1960s and 70s. Some are more complete than others. There are some spare cards too.
