Bookcase with 6 shelves (Frenchwood PR1)
MDF I think, with black oak look veneer. 178cm. high, 90cm. wide, 35cm. deep. White-faced hardboard backing sheets need re-inserting and some are a bit frayed; there are some brass tacks available to secure; Was Habitat self-assembly 20+ years ago but doubt if it could be disassembled for transport without damage. You’d need 2 hefty people to handle it safely and a biggish vehicle.

Expired
White metal shoe rack, expands from 63cm to 100cm. Don’t try to expand beyond 100cm as the tubes can come apart.

Bicycle (Frenchwood PR1)
Gifted
Make is Orbit, bought new c. 20 years ago for small lady. It was described as a hybrid (mountain/street) and could be used by boy or girl. Has been well maintained but front tyre has likely got a puncture. Frame a bit rusty but sound. It’s been a lovely ride but getting too wobbly now - me not the bike.

Letraset sheets (Frenchwood PR1)
Withdrawn
Does anyone still use this “dry transfer lettering”? Found in a drawer and thought someone might like to have them. No idea if they are still usable and no time to play with them. Could post them if necessary.

Chair (Frenchwood PR1)
Expired
Very light but strong, low chair. Canvas sling seat and back support with leather straps holding it together. Bought in the 1970s in a shop called Swedish Modern on Market Street. Unfortunately it now has a bit of woodworm in the parts that touch the floor but if treated it’s good for many more years. Or you could just have it for the canvas and leather.

Side pieces 176cm (5’9) long, ; shelves 87cm (2’10) . « Black ash » colour. 2 shelves damaged, 3 look ok, see photos. slightly bowed from weight of books. Someone handier than me could make something of them - or some of them! You would probably need a van if taking the longer side pieces.

teapots (Frenchwood PR1)
Expired
3teapots. The blue and white one just has some crazing inside but is perfectly usable, the big brown has a big chip in its lid- otherwise perfectly usable, the little brown one looks perfect but leaks when filled with boiling water - left it on too hot a hob! It’s only good for decoration or could be hung in a hedge for birds to nest in maybe?
