Traduc un text istoric despre cămătari, iar fraza sună cam aşa:
„În contul unei datorii mai vechi, [cămătarul] ridică de la un boier nişte 'boarfe', fără a mai găsi altceva de valoare.”
Dat fiind că şi „boarfe” e citat din documentele vremii, m-ar interesa un termen mai arhaic. Mulţumesc.

Este şi verb, şi substantiv, sinonim cu 'jumble' şi celelalte variante propuse. Într-un dicţionar Collins este dată explicaţia: 'old and unwanted things that people give away, especially to a charity, to be sold'. Iar în altul, ro-en, 'boarfe, vechituri':

rags, odds and ends, scraps, odds and sods (slang)
"Rags" se refera la haine/tesaturi, deci in acest sens se potriveste. Dar "boarfe" poate sa includa si incaltaminte, obiecte de uz personal, orice "bulendre". Nu am gasit "rummage" ca substantiv cu acest sens in Cambridge si MacMillan:
