mystery object (Ewell)
This ancient artefact, discovered behind my fridge, consists of 6ft of perfectly circular piping (possibly alien origin), capped at one end with an ingenious rubber, um cap, with a metal tightening clamp of very substantial durability. The other end is strangely left open, and ever so slightly wonky, or elliptical as archaeologists would say. Its true function is unknown - experts are baffled - but Dr Xavier Schlippenbutt of the Sasquatch Institute has suggested a variety of uses : spider hypnotizer, two-man musical bongo, willow soaker, neighbour wall "shut up" knocker, and as a ceremonial pillar-of-water used in fertility rites. One thing's for sure...it's a fascinating object, and this is a rare opportunity to be its next custodian. A certificate of authenticity can be supplied, but personally I wouldn't bother. Serious enquiries only please.

Folding Stool (Ewell)

This had a lot of use...so i had to re-upholster the seat with cloth instead of the usual plasticky stuff. However, i would say only suitable now for people 8 stone or under.

Hacker ls550 speaker (Ewell)

Pretty beaten up. The woofer has been changed from the original and to be honest sounds bad as it was cheap. A little project maybe? Only one speaker i'm afraid.

Vintage teepee kit (Ewell)
Gifted
Rare old kit from the good 'ol US of A. The teepee has been coloured in and the box has holes that someone made for the poles to go in.... Still quite a cute thing. You could use the old teepee as a template to cut a new blank one and go designing on that. The base and cloth were missing when i got it. I made a quick cardboard base, but that could be improved upon. The missing cloth i think was a carpet for the inside. I never made one, but you could. Let your imagination run riot!

One third has been used and there's a tiny leak at the base that i've attempted to seal (and failed), hence the upside down position. The top lid seals the liquid in however, so you can decant it from the hole in the base.
