Free: Ship in a bottle - needs repair (Newcastle Central NE1) Gifted 3-masted little ship in bottle, cork at top - approx 6 inches. Main thing is that it needs repair. It appears that the bottle glass was cut to place ship in, and then glued with the rope covering it. I don't have time to glue it back together, so someone else is welcome to return it to its former condition!

Free: Decorative gold perfume bottle - no perfume (Newcastle Central NE1) Expired This Miss Dior gold-coloured spray no longer contains the perfume (apart from a slight scent) and is no longer suitable to refill, as it's several decades old. It has a "CD" logo on the top. Approx 3 inches high, it might suit a theatre group for props or appeal just as a decorative item. The topper is dulled but has no damage - it might clean up. Happy to post if of interest.

Free: Two Hole Punchs + Paper Protectors (Newcastle Central NE1) Expired Standard easy-to-use hole punches, to create two clean holes for ring-file folders. Metal, green, good condition. Can also provide the circular sticky protectors to add around the holes created, preventing paper tears. Prefer the two to be collected together if possible (such as for an organisation or craft group) but will separate if necessary. NB: this type of hole punch does not have a pullout tab to help position in a precise place.

Free: Two wooden bowls, 2 wooden spoons, 1 wooden fork (Newcastle Central NE1) Gifted Never used gift - fairly sure it was a Fair Trade artisan set but we already have plenty of crockery and cutlery and didn't use it. Sorry pic is a bit blurry, let me know if you'd like see it on a better photo!

Free: Ink cartridges for a pen (Newcastle Central NE1) Gifted Bag of about 50 unopened black ink cartridges - each about 4cm long. Websites seem to describe them as "standard size". No longer have that type of fountain pen. Happy to post, if that helps (or send a photo).

Free: Two dishes suitable for sweetcorn cobs (Newcastle Central NE1) Expired About six inches long, white ceramic. Condition is pretty good, with one little chip on each one. I'm pretty sure we have some metal pronged forks designed to stick into cobs (to help eat easily) - I'll have a rummage if of interest. Best wishes, Olwyn

Free: "Get Carter car park" memorabilia (Newcastle Central NE1) Gifted When Trinity Square car park where a famous scene in Get Carter was filmed was demolished, Gateshead Council issued small chunks as memorabilia. It wasn't just because of movie fame; the car park was seen as an example of Brutalist architecture. They were snapped up and I got two of them. We're decluttering so feel able to give one away. You'll see on the photo that there is a little plastic pack with a label, pictures and info (signed by an architect), plus a piece of concrete about 1 inch wide. The condition of the concrete and label are good, the plastic condition is now bent a bit (but still works - there is a lid on the top). It's small enough to post but if someone really wants it, it may be safer to collect.

Free: Picture: "Chessboard" (Newcastle Central NE1) Gifted 19" x 21" - print by Ken Law (cellist with London Symphony Orchestra who painted in a Cubist style). A great favourite, had it for more than 30 years but regretfully letting it go due to lack of space as downsize. Good condition - it's quite heavy and has two hooks with doubled-up string at the back to hang it. Colours are jade/grey, with off-white and shades of black.

Free: 3 index card boxes (Newcastle Central NE1) Gifted 3 black standard index card boxes, originally bought at WH Smith (I think). There are a few dozen index cards as well. Condition is medium - some scratches, but the lid hinges work fine. Size is approx 6 inches wide, 5 inches high, 3 inches deep. As they're very light, happy to post.

Free: "New York Bridges" print (Newcastle Central NE1) Gifted Ken Law's "New York Bridges" print on a solid block background. 18" wide x 8 inches high, just under half an inch deep. Slightly damaged bottom right. Always been a favourite, but don't have the room any more after downsizing. As it'll fi in an envelope, happy to post.
