Flexi-Sphere
Interesting wire contraption that we played with as a child. A series of (4) tiers of overlapping and intertwined brass wire semicircular hoops are anchored at the open end to a pair of full circles. The whole can be shaped into a tube, double balls, a flower petal, etc, depending upon what areas are opened, which closed. A variety of colored beads on the hoops add a decorative touch. Fun, intriguing and decorative all at the same time.

Makin' Whoopee...
is best done with the sacred mother of all novelty items, the original Whoopee Cushion. Marlon Brando owned one. Of course he did, they're both American classics, except the cushion was born in Toronto. Ours is the classic 8" version.

Ka-Ching!
This miniature steel reproduction of a cash register, faithful to the original toy in look and quality, is actually a coin bank. Takes nickels, dimes and quarters (you can add other denominations through a rear slot), and keeps a running total. Locks after the first quarter and won't open until it registers $10. Heavy, and just over 6" tall x 4-1/2" wide x 5-1/4" deep. Look for this on the Antiques Roadshow in, say, 2108.

Magnetic Marbles
They are 5/8" inch diameter spheres with a weak but workable magnetism. They come in a nice range of mixed colors in packages of (20). Not terribly strong, but they do cling together to make wonderful and unlikely chains and stacks and stalactites and things. They look like the gumballs of our youth, and will fascinate youngsters without the corollary risk of cavities!!

Robot Claw
Now the kids (6 and up) can really behave like robots!! A 20" long arm with a pair of jaws on one end has a sliding handle in the other. Squeeze the handle and the jaws close, release and they open. Simple toy similar to a pickup tool but packaged in plastic for the robotic look that is all the rage these days.

Pen-Fan? Fan-Pen?
Or hot-flash deflector, or optical-illusion demonstration device. Or toy. Yes, to all of the above. Our 5-1/2" long brushed-aluminum, black-ink ballpoint pen has a (removable) little plastic fan blade in its noggin. Cool off at work, blow crumbs off the desk, or just turn it on and move the fan in and out from your computer screen and watch the phantom blades slow, stop or even reverse in the optical illusion called the "wagon wheel effect." Runs on a button-cell battery, included.

Teutonic Noise
Plastic siren/whistle made in West Germany. A touch over 3/4" in diameter and a similar touch under 2" long. that makes it hard, but not impossible, to swallow, so please use care in teaching youngsters to sound like a miniature air raid siren. The well-made whistle has a perforated metal disk that rotates in response to a silent blast from the perpetrator's; lungs. This creates a high-pitched reasonably loud and certainly distinctive siren-sound that picks up pitch in relation to the air velocity, sustains it as long as your wind holds out, and winds down quickly thereafter. A fine way to signal your arrival or departure. Probably not loud enough to collect the clan at the beach, but it should get their attention in the classroom!!

Compact Cutie
The next best thing to keeping Billy Crystal in your purse: our little (2" x 2-1/4" x 3/8" thick) red compacts have full mirrors on the bottom inside and smaller mirrors in the top surrounded by the encomium "You Look Marvelous," just in case nobody's told you that lately. Great pajama party favors.

Why Is That Skull Smiling?
Because he's jolly, Roger. Our non-irate pirates' ensign is 17" x 12" in nylon on a 2-foot stick. Roger may or may not be wearing a bandana on the flag we send you, but he's guaranteed to be grinning. Don't board someone else's vessel without one.

Attention! Everybody Up!
It's not super loud, or super clear, but it's super fun. We wouldn't try to control a madding crowd with this small 5-1/2" long megaphone, but it's fine for general bossiness, or for sports, picnics, boating, etc. On/off/volume control. Generous wrist strap. Requires (3) AAA batteries (not included).
