DIY Bearing
Enough balls to make a beauty of a bearing! The 5/16" dia steel balls arrived in a case pack marked Grade 500. We don't know what it means, either, but we're very impressed with their potential! Bonus! Some may even have some light rusting.

Three-Foot Glass
But they come off. The feet. What we have here is a pair of 8" dia glass disks, 1/8" thick with lightly ground edges, each with (3) clear rubber feet on the bottom. The feet peel right off if you need the disks of glass for something else (attn: porthole makers) but they're nice oversized coasters, plant stands, or sushi trays as they are.

Egg McChameleon
Another gem plucked from the A.S.&S. mirabilia. The shape and size of a hen egg, this opaque stone (or matte-finished glass - we're not sure which) is interesting in itself. Touched with a red penlight in a dark room, the entire egg becomes a brilliant ruby color. Blue light/blue egg, etc. Fun and fascinating, and with a little sleight of hand, a sure way to convince the plebeians that you have some mysterious metaphysical power.

What Wood You Do?
We're pretty sure this was meant to be part of a classy golf umbrella, but the sculptured, varnished, light-wood handle 5-1/2" x 1-1/4" dia OA still opens a world of possibilities. With the 1/4" bore that runs completely through it, you could make a jump rope or any kind of pull. With (1) flat end for it to stand on, and the other, more-rounded end, you could build tiny totems or curvy dolls. Ourselves, we're trying to decide between starting an umbrella business, or staying home to play miniature tenpins. What to do? What to do?

Wood You Believe...
A neat bag-o-wood, suitable for model-making, art projects and hobbies of all sorts. The balsa bag weighs almost 3/4 of a pound, and is a random assortment of balsa that may range from 1/8" square strips to a 5" long x 2" square hunk, and lots in between. The basswood may have half a dozen 5" long x 2" square pieces, 8" x 3" sheets, and a whole bunch of 1/16" to 1/8" strips. Whatever the variety of sizes, either bag will total approx 72 cubic inches in all, which is more than it sounds like.

Depressed Marbles
Big sacks of flattened glass marbles, all approx 5/8" dia x 5/16" thick. You pick 4 pounds (approx 500+ marbles) in translucent green, amber or teal blue. Mix or match for flower arrangements, aquarium bottoms, unique tile work, jewelry, crafts, stained glass accents, and game pieces, or just put them in a jar and look at them, on account of they're so pretty.

Anonymous Dominoes
Like playing tennis without a net, these will let you play existential dominoes: no dots, so each one is the Platonic ideal of a domino, and every move you make is both right and wrong simultaneously. OK, they're (108) little wooden blocks, 2" x 1" x 3/8" thick white pine, that were meant to be dominoes but quit before the dots were painted on. Fun for child's play, of course, but also useful for woodworker's projects like inlays, marquetry, parquetry, or small end-cut cutting boards. Or, if you're unimaginative, you could just make a domino set.

Flat Marbles
They look like glass marbles that were dropped on a cold slab when the glass was molten. Hence they have a flattened blob shape, about 1/4" thick and as big as 1" x 3/4" or as small as 1/2" dia. across. All are translucent, except for white, which is solid white. Talented folk use them in flower arrangements, to fill a jar or glass as decoration or for similar tasteful purposes. The rest of us use them for joke marbles, non-jumping tiddlywinks and board game pieces. Our each is a bag of (100) marbles.

Child Unspoiler
Fiberglass rod, 3/16" dia. It is quite stiff, but flexible and we will give you a 10 ft length coiled. Nice yellow plastic coating. Since the world court has ruled out caning, you are going to have to come up with your own use for it.

Aluminum Tube
What can you do with a thin aluminum tube? The question should be what can’t you do with a thin aluminum tube. It's flexible, it's thin, it's aluminum, it comes in a variety of lengths and thicknesses. What it's for is up to you. Here are the specs: #27529 is 10 feet long,.044” OD, .040” ID. #27416 is just 3–1/2” long, .048” OD, .042”" ID.
