Air fryer (Barnard's Green WR14)
Made by Tower, no longer produced I don’t think. Given to me, was in use by previous owner, but I don’t think I will use it. The tray bit does work but needs a bit of care because two of the three screws that hold the handle on have come adrift, reason being that the plastic lugs they screw in to have come off- see picture. If you were bothered, it might be repairable with that epoxy putty stuff.

Two anglepoise-style lamps (Barnard's Green WR14)
Gifted
Both a bit old and battered but they both work. Would prefer them to go to someone who will use them rather then try and sell them on, so if you are interested in both please let me know why…

Heavy duty hinges (Barnard's Green WR14)
Gifted
I have eight pairs of these hinges. If you Google Eclipse 4” hinges it looks as if they are readily available so you can see the specification online. Looks like they are designed for fire doors, which would fit because I salvaged them from some heavy fireproof cupboard doors which were delivered to our community bonfire pile. Not huge doors, so won’t have had the weight of a full size door on them. Would prefer that they go to someone actually looking to use them rather than for attempted sale. Some screws salvaged as well but not the full quota.

DAB radio (Barnard's Green WR14)
Gifted
Made by Pure, model D240, probably about 13 years old. Has an alarm, and all the settings and display are fine, but there is a faint rumbling bass-note even when not in use. I’m guessing that’s there is some component that has failed and that there might be a boffin at the repair cafe who might know but I haven’t gone down that route. But I would be very pleased if someone else would..

Caraway seeds (Barnard's Green WR14)
Expired
About a third of a packet, just bought. Our jar isn’t big enough for them all and we don’t use caraway very often. A shame to throw them away…

Tent poles (Barnard's Green WR14)
Gifted
Sectional, slot together with cord down the middle. Not flexible a la pop-up tents. I think they are intended for replacing broken poles

Gas bottle connector (Barnard's Green WR14)

It’s marked for butane, not propane. I don’t know anything at all about it, and haven’t used it so cannot vouch for its condition

Shelves (Barnard's Green WR14)
Gifted
Freestanding shelves, old but serviceable and well-made. They measure 1 m wide by 18 cm deep by 1.07 m high. The depth of the top shelf is 32 cm, then 23 and the next two down are roughly 20 cm high each.

Small drawers/cupboard (Barnard's Green WR14)
Expired
Here is a small unit consisting of two drawers with a cupboard beneath, rescued by my daughter from a pavement in Bristol. It’s clearly been made a while ago and like a lot of older furniture, is pretty solidly made. Nice wooden handles. As you can see from the picture, on the top the veneer has peeled off in a patch, but if someone has the enthusiasm to renovate it, this could either filled, sanded and repainted. Last time I advertised something like this, there were quite a few people who responded only after I had already agreed to let the item go, so this time I will leave it up a while before I answer.

Hanging tree-thing (Barnard's Green WR14)
Gifted
Anyone interested in this? I made it years ago from an old budleia branch, and we used it as a key-tree. It has a lead weight in the base for stability. It stands about 85cm high but if it were trimmed to make it more symmetrical it would be about 60cm. Might perhaps be useful for a maker of crafty things, eg necklaces, rings, for display purposes? Or as a key-tree...

Two misting bottles (Barnard's Green WR14)
Expired

Two bedside drawers (Barnard's Green WR14)
Expired
These have been on my family since the 1970s, so they pre-date flatpack furniture and IKEA. The drawers are solid wood, and the carcass is plywood but they are decently made (hence having lasted 50 years). They are 45cm wide, 39 deep, 71 high. Two of the drawers (bottom left, second from top, right) have lost part of the lip that acts as a handle for opening, but they still work ok. Would make a nice upcycling project if you don’t fancy the current finish.

Baby/toddler swing (Barnard's Green WR14)
Gifted
Can’t remember how we came by this but it looks unused. Plastic and rope, seems pretty sturdy. No visible make. Needs a tree to hang it from, of course. Will allow time for all responses to come.

Mini garden greenhouse (Barnard's Green WR14)
Gifted
One of those frames covered in stout plastic for growing plants in a garden. Belonged to my daughter but it blew down in a storm, and it doesn’t fit in with her needs now. We think it is all there and still works, and the fabric is not torn. One frame might have bent slightly but it could be easily straightened by hand. I’ll wait for all replies to come in, rather then first come first served.

Enormous candle (Barnard's Green WR14)
Gifted
Ornamental candle. Don’t think that it could be designed for actual burning, although we did start. Weighs more than 5 kg (our kitchen scales top out at that), and I wondered if any candle makers out there might make use of it?

Technics hi fi stack (Barnard's Green WR14)
Expired
Cd player, tuner, cassette player, graphic equaliser and amp, plus two speakers. Great sound. My mother in law doesn’t need such an elaborate set up any more. All in working order except that the cd tray needs pulling in and out by hand. Comes with manuals and the cables.
