36 inch Ridgid pipe wrench, after a cleanup it looks a lot better and may be kept lying around for future usage. Maybe a little refurb first though, it deserves some paint I think and a cleanup.
Double Maclaren stroller, all seems in good shape, just a little dusty. CR for this I think, as soon as we get ourselves organised.
Calphalon square griddle pan with corrugated base. It is almost brand new and has probably been used just a few times, but it was dirty and hence got thrown away. It is very like this one but not non-stick. We have cleaned it a bit already but we have no use for it so it is yours for free if you want it and you get to clean it. The dirt comes off with a little persistence.
This is a very similar thing to that skillet above but copper with a brass handle. It has a tin lining that is coming off, hence the thing is no good for cooking as we do not want to ingest lots of copper. Now it could either have some non-food use or contribute to the brass and copper piles for the non-ferrous scrap. Anybody want it? It is quite ornamental. Made in Italy.
Update: It is possible to get these things retinned, or to do it yourself. Nice! I may have to give it a try, although I am still not really interested in this particular skillet and hence it is still available to any who want it.
There appeared in the air a flying object, saucer-like but with a handle! The elite UFO investigation team that reached the point of impact were pleased to identify it as a Calphalon 10inch non-stick omelet skillet. The point of impact was of course a scrap metal dumpster and the person who launched it through the air had apparently no further use for it. Reason for discard, bowed bottom, which is conveniently also a fine reason for warranty return......
A really nice panasonic steel frame in excellent shape, completely stripped. Also an old and rather classical and stylish Hunter 3-speed with Brooks leather saddle.
We have been looking for a good one of these for a while. This one has a nice handle with heat shielding and a second handle to assist in the final pouring of the coals. It has some rust on it and other siugns of use but is in pretty good shape for something that has endured that sort of heat cycling. It has a nice size also. Tested it the same night cooking dinner on the BBQ, hangar steak, sausages, smoked pork chops, corn, brocolli rabe and potatos all cooked over that fire. We added no further coals after initial starting in the chimney.
Random jogging stroller as shown in the pic. Seems to work fine. Also, another one not shown. It had folding issues but now I oiled it it has different folding issues. We will see about that one.
A Wood Classics teak table, with four matching chairs and a matching bench. They are all in OK shape and will be cleaned and oiled for our use. Fortuitous really, we have been discussing redoing the patio and getting a better table for it as the current one is starting to rust. Curbside bulk garbage day offers a great in-car shopping experience. Here is a pic showing the table and bench after some cleaning and some teak oil, chairs yet to be prettyfied. Note patio underneath that really needs doing, where am I going to find free discarded patio materials we all wonder?
I got this for the custodian of the pool table we found. Not that he is an idiots or needs to learn more about pool but it can sit next to the table in case an idiot does show up.
Probably useless but somebody might want it. No power supply unfortunately.
