Soft Cream Rug (Rayleigh SS6)
About 5ft long by 3ft foot wide. This rug is a light colour, some might call it cream. It was steam cleaned in 2024 but not used, since. Been rolled up in my shed. Hearth rug, bedside, bathroom, hallway or it makes a good outdoor play rug for a child.

Unused Single Car Front Seat Cover plus two Headrest Covers. (Rayleigh SS6)
Gifted
This car front seat cover was difficult to photograph! I also have two headrest covers. Am happy to give these separately. These were not mine so I'm guessing they fit an average small car like a Fiat Uno or a Renault Clio and not SUVs or Porches, BMWs or the like.

Used unpainted wooden internal doors (Rayleigh SS6)
Withdrawn
Plain oiled, veneered, hollow (so they're light), dark brown internal doors. Standard height but two are slightly narrower. The veneer has splintered at the bottom of most of them, which is why I've replaced them. I think you would either have to repair them or use for something totally different.

Large Poster of Two Tigers (Rayleigh SS6)
Expired
Has previously been stuck on a wall but still in good state. I just don't have wall space for it and think it will give someone else pleasure. I haven't measured exactly but it's about two feet deep and four feet long.

Printing Set (Rayleigh SS6)
Expired
You fix the tiny letters into the hand held blocks then squidge it onto the ink block and finally stamp your message onto paper or card. Requires some more ink as the tiny bottle hasn't got much left. Can moisten the pad with ink and water. There are tweezers to help handle the letters. Fiddley for an old'un like me. More appropriate for a capable young person .

10 Pine Knob Handles & Drawer Sliders (Rayleigh SS6)
Gifted
10 small pine knob handles off an old chest of drawers and the sliders from the drawers plus screws that were used to keep them in place. Ideally these will go together in one job lot but I will consider separating them. This is a definite upcycling project.

Bookcase with Two Shelves and Glass Doors. (Rayleigh SS6)
Gifted
Sturdy wooden bookcase with two shelves and glass sliding doors to keep the books dust free. The shelves balance on those pins and you'll need some new ones as some are missing but I think a DIY shop will sell them. I balanced the shelves on file boxes.

Pine Hi Fi Cupboard (Rayleigh SS6)

Pine Hi Fi cupboard on feet with shelf and brass knob. Some marks/scratches on the top (see photo). Hole in the back for lead and cables. Of course it can be used for other storage. I had file boxes and folders in it for a time but I can see it would make a good drinks cabinet too. I think it's time for someone else to love it.

An Old Ekco Radio (Rayleigh SS6)
Gifted
This old Ekco radio no longer picks up a signal so if you plug it in, it sounds like it's searching for a signal. Maybe somebody good with electronics could convert it? Or if the innards are taken out, it would make a store box? A collectors item?
