a mixture of old gear including bonati/stubai snap gates charlet moser screwgates, moac wedges, clog acorn, peck crackers, wired troll wedge, clog hexagons, clog wedges, chouinard stoppers & ofcourse mcinnes terrordactyls...

No way, you are kidding me. Who would ever dream of throwing away nice placemats like those. I bet the bottoms of them are good quality cork as well.

Exactly my thoughts, jumped straight in and saved them!
I could imagine the acorn being quite useful in some instances.

...I still use some of this stuff !

There's 3 of those slide on nuts like which are on the yellow rope amongst my dad's climbing gear, quite handy if they're all on one sling.
