Egg McChameleon
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
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.

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.

Let's Wind Things Up…
This would be your standard 1/16" thick tan/pinkish elastic bandage for wrapping around your bum knee, sprained ankle or twisted whatever, if it weren't a super-generous 4" wide and a spectacular 10 feet long! Think of the potential!

Six-Pole Donut
"Very interesting" says our in-house magnet-appreciation team leader. This donut magnet measures 3-3/8" dia x 7/16" thick with 1-1/4" ID hole. On its strong side it's polarized south at each of (3) equidistant notches and polarized north in-between. The weak side is the opposite and the sides are marked to distinguish them. Approx 20-lb pull.

Tongue Too Happy?
You'll need some tongue depressors. You couldn't beat these with a stick-these familiar little wooden slats, 6" long x 3/4" wide x 1/16" thick, ideal for model-making, gardening (Where'd we plant the radishes, Marge?), crafts and school projects. Use them as coffee stirrers that will actually stir something, dip them for pocket-sized paint samples, use 'em as campfire or fireplace starters. Our each is a pack of (50), individually paper-wrapped, which is not to say sterile.

Made in Italy.

Excellent Electomagnet
Physics project alert! This robust puppy of a magnet has dual 6V coils and stands 4" high x 3-1/4" wide, not counting the side terminals. Each coil draws 2.4A at 6VDC, and is conservatively rated for 40 Newtons (approx 9 lbs) at that voltage. Can be wired in either parallel or series, and comes with a mounting hook. Works great with a 6-volt lantern battery.

Hang On There
Looking for a very, very, very long refrigerator magnet? At 15 ft, this 7/16" wide x 1/16" thick magnetic strip should just about go up one side, across the top, and down the other side. It's flexible, but can be broken if bent back against itself -- which means that small children can make craft magnets without having to cut the strip or themselves! We love it when a plan comes together!
