Free: Two old walking sticks. (Abingdon-on-Thames OX14) Promised Two old wooden walking sticks. Maybe more use as play props or similar now compared with modern walking sticks. One curved "Charlie Chaplin" style, 76 cm (30") tall. One straight with shaped handle, 84 cm (33") tall. Could be used as a (slightly long) "magic wand" by Harry Potter fans or LARP (live-action role play) enthusiasts. If replying please state whether interested in both or just one.

Request: N / LR1 size battery (Abingdon-on-Thames OX14) Withdrawn I have a small penlight without a battery. It looks like it takes an unusual size. My best guess from researching dimensions is an N or LR1 type. (I don't have an old battery from it to confirm.) If anyone nearby has a spare one of these, even part used, it would be really helpful for me to check if it is the right size and that the penlight actually still works. Thanks!
