We got a great deal on a bunch of plastic bottle-type things that were meant to be bases/reservoirs for citronella oil lamps. We got 12 oz. bottles, we got 2 oz. bottles. Of course, none of them have stoppers or wick doobies, but they all have 1" ID mouths that take a #6 stopper or #13 cork, and if you weren't a creative person you wouldn't be reading this catalog. OK, here we go: The 12 oz. jugs are straight-sided, 3-3/8" dia., and come in assorted colors, some clear, some seasonal designs. We choose. The 2 oz. jugs are 2-1/4" high and flare from a 1-1/2" dia. base to 1-7/8" dia. at the shoulder, and come in our choice of transparent colors.

It's the Trunk-TITE™, an adjustable 28" long x 1" wide canvas strap with a figure-eightish buckle that fits the top latch on trunk locks and a swivel snap that will fit the bottom, so you can tie the lid down over whatever over-sized thing you've stuck in the trunk. Releases by hand or when you push your trunk release button. Non-stretch material is safer than bungee cords, the manufacturer says, and it's probably true.

One wiseacre assumed we meant any package leaving our shipping room that once had a glass object in it. That is a malicious rumor. . . Ground glass is thin plate glass, the surface of which has been physically ground or acid-etched to create a grainy, grayish, opaque surface. Use it to produce an image from a lens or lens system. Even a simple magnifier, held between the ground glass and, say, a window, will produce an image of the window scene on the ground glass. Ground glass has another magical property: it is opaque to any object viewed at a distance, but not if that object is in direct contact with the glass surface. A necessary element of your optical education. #2728 (square) is 2"sq x 1/32" thick. #2610 (rectangular) is 3-1/2" x 4-3/8" x 1/16" thick.
