The Cull -- final chapter?

[Don Morrison <dfm mv com>]

Here's what may be the final collection of stuff I'm trying to find a 
good home for.

Complicating things is that anything you want must be collected no 
later than Monday, owing to my moving schedule.

a) China. Twelve place settings (with some extras of many pieces) 
including
   dinner plates
   salad plates
   soup bowls
   desert plates
   desert bowls
   cups
   saucers
Also includes some serving platters, a gravy boat, and salt and pepper 
shakers.

The dinner plates, serving platters and gravy boat are by the Irish 
branch of Noritake, in a pattern called "Brigette." They are white with 
a silver border. The rest are by an anonymous Japanese maker in a 
pattern called "Imperial Rose." They are white with a silver border and 
a single rose in the center. The two patterns were chosen (not by me; 
by someone presumably with a better sense of style than I have! :-) to 
go together.

All are in good condition. No cracks, chips or discoloration. However, 
some of the pieces have been used for years, and no longer have the 
lustre of brand new china, and a few have slightly faded or worn 
patterns.

b) Stainless flatware. Lots (I'd estimate 50-75 pieces total), in 
several different patterns.

c) Brown and tan soup crocks, with lids. The kind that tend to get used 
for serving individual portions of onion soup and the like, with 
handles. "Like new" condition. So far I've found two, but I suspect I 
may find some more later today. In the end I expect the total to be 2, 
4 or 8, depending upon how many it turns out I got rid of last time I 
moved!

d) Glasses. Nothing fancy, plain, straight sides. Three or four 
different sizes, what remains unbroken from a large set bought years 
ago. All are sound, but most have that vague cloudiness they get after 
having been run through the dishwasher hundreds of times. Not sure what 
the total count is, perhaps about two dozen total, though more of the 
small ones than the large ones.

e) Nine wicker paper plate holders. These are gizmos you put under 
flimsy paper plates to make them more rigid and easy to eat off of at 
parties and the like.

f) Press pot type coffee pot, glass and stainless. I'd reckon it's 
about a pint. Good condition.

g) Purple ball, sort of beach ball/general play toy, about the size of 
a basket ball though much lighter.
