Free: Cut glass bowl (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) No manufacturer's mark on it, only the word "foreign". Approximate external measurements: 22cm diameter, 9.5cm height.

Free: SilverCrest bread maker (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Gifted I was given this by a Freecycler years ago and used it once. I assume it's working but it's been sitting around for years and I can't guarantee anything. Includes a few parts not shown in the photos (measuring cup, measuring scoop, kneading paddles, and dough hook). I've given it a clean. I never had a paper manual but you can find it online.

Free: HP Photosmart Plus printer scanner (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Gifted Semi-functional. This works but the ink has dried through lack of use. When this happened before, I took the nozzle out (fairly easy to do) and washed it through and cleaned it out, dried it thoroughly, and it worked again, so you should be able to do this again. The scanner works but has some dust on the inside of the glass. You might be able to open it up to clean it, or it could be useful for scanning documents rather than photos. It also has a problem where a narrow strip down one side doesn't scan properly (I don't know why). It has a touchscreen and memory card slots, which allow some use without a computer, including printing preset sheets such as music manuscript paper. Includes the two ink cartridges pictured but they've been sitting around for a while and I can't guarantee they're still usable. Also included are the power cable, USB lead (although the printer also works on WiFi) a software CD (although I think it works without that), and the instruction manual. Thanks for looking.

Free: Set of three baskets (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Gifted With newly washed cloth inners.

Free: "Father & child" lamp (faulty) (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Gifted Uplighter and anglable reading light, both dimmable. Originally from Argos several years ago. Works but keeps blowing bulbs too often so could do with being repaired (happens when switching it on but not every time it's switched on - can work for weeks and then blow again). Might be a simple repair but dealing with chronic fatigue, I don't have the energy to deal with it myself so hopefully someone else can get use out of it.

Free: Beads and plastic thread (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Expired Tiny beads in assorted colours and finishes. Penny for scale.

Free: Knitting Nancy / French knitter (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Expired Plastic

159d

Free: Shoe rack (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Gifted 75 x 28 x 28cm. Originally from Argos. It's sagged a bit from using it for a bit too much weight (see photo).

159d

Free: USB extension (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Expired About 20cm. Old version so will be quite a slow transfer speed.

194d

Free: 24" Raleigh inner tube (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Expired I don't believe this has ever been used. It was bought probably about ten to fifteen years ago and has been kept indoors (not garage/shed/outhouse). I think the rubber looks and feels fine but check it over before you use it because of its age. Schrader valve. The box is squashed.

276d

Free: Concertina file (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Gifted With latch and carry handle. Mottled on the outside from where it got dusty and mildewy at one point but has been cleaned. Clean inside. Two pockets near the back ripped but the rest completely usable.

Free: Chocolate tin (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Expired Good condition other than where the price sticker was removed. Red looks faded in photo but is darker. Internal dimensions 17.5 by 18.2 centimetres.

Free: Landline phone (Moseley, Birmingham, B13) Expired Cable & Wireless brand CWT2000 model landline phone. Probably about 20 years old. Answerphone doesn't work, caller ID and calls list often don't work. Works as a basic phone with a clock and phone book. Tatty, very discoloured/yellowed. Dusty/dirty inside curly wire, which I haven't cleaned out properly and you may wish to replace that bit anyway because the plastic is splitting near where it joins the receiver. Maybe good as an extra line in an outhouse or something.
