A collection of garden and utility equipment comprising a hand truck, a wheelbarrow, a garden incinerator, and two push brooms. The hand truck features a red-painted tubular steel frame with a single handle and black plastic grip, carrying a black and white adhesive label reading CLARKE STRONG-ARM. The wheelbarrow is constructed with a galvanized steel tray mounted on a dark green tubular steel frame, featuring a single wheel with an orange plastic rim. A label on the front of the tray reads GENUINE Chillington with a green ribbon logo containing the text 1ST CHOICE. The garden incinerator is a cylindrical galvanized steel unit with a conical chimney lid and ventilation holes; it bears a weathered paper label partially reading GARDENLINE. The assortment is completed by two long-handled push brooms, one with black bristles and a green metal handle, and the second with red bristles and a red wooden handle.
