Intriguing skip find - NOS Lucas DDB106 distributor cap!

[naskeet]

I've had a few more useful skip finds in recent weeks, one of which I had never come across before. This was a plastic (polypropylene I think) storage tower on casters, with eight 7-litre capacity drawers, made by a British company called Really Useful Products Ltd.

The unit was marked:

This appears to be the same as the one I salvaged from the skip, with eight different "rainbow" drawer colours:

Storage tower with 8x7 litre Really Useful Drawers | Includes castors | Price £47.93

I have provisionally decided to use it to store my archived Open University mathematics course units from the late 1980s to late 1990s. They sometimes come in useful for my mathematics private tutoring. It will be much easier to retrieve them from this than from the stacking mushroom trays and box-files I have previously used.

Some other items I found in the same skip, included:

A pair of green wellington boots

Tennis racket & carrying case – Slazenger PRO twenty 7 | Tim Henman

Badminton racket & carrying case – Carlton POWERFLO BR
