Wide-mouthed jars (Kew East)
Pick up from East Kew. Two dozen wide-mouthed jars, labels removed and sparkling clean. I used to live in tropical areas, where these were the only safe storage against cockroaches, so I learned to treasure them. But I have too many!

Wooden towel rack (Kew East)
Wooden towel rack. Pick up from East Kew. 1940s? About a metre high and a little longer. Rails are faded from use, but a sand and stain and varnish would fix that. We used it in our guest room for towels and sometimes as an extra clothes horse.

Two Old Essence Bottles (Kew East)
Expired
Two artificial fruit essence bottles, Australian. 220mm. high. No lids, but I can supply a few new corks to whittle to fit. No chips that I can see. I have hoped them but not washed them, because the paper labels would wash off.

Essential oils: jars & bottles (Kew East)
Gifted
Small jars and bottles for creams and oils. Most with lids. Plus many corks. I've washed everything, but they are not sterile. Bottles: - 16 tall (100ml H 110 mm. - 44 small (50ml H 90mm). - 42 lids, fitting either sized bottles. So 18 don't have lids - would the corks be a substitute? Jars: - 47 Jars (50 ml H 48mm ). 44 lids. Corks - many corks (haven't counted). Most are blank and new, but some washed wine bottle corks were added at some stage.

Painting prep: sanding, etc (Kew East)
Expired
Strange mix of sanding gear, scrapers, etc. God knows if the filler is still usable! Not much sandpaper, and it ranges from very coarse to very fine.

Audio book cassettes (Kew East)
Gifted
If you still have a cassette player (I don't) these are all gems: - Under Milk Wood (2 cassettes). - Yes Minister (seasons 1, 2 and 4 - 2 cassettes each). - Just So Stories (2 cassettes). - The Magic Pudding (1 cassette). - The Bush School (2 cassettes - non-fiction - Recollections of one-teacher schools. ABC). - Mapp and Lucia (2 cassettes- read by Prunella Scales). A forgotten masterpiece. If you appreciate a keen but loving eye for 1930s upper/middle class bitchiness, with an absurd twist. E F Benson for the win!
