Foam Bumper
Born to live on an ignominious exercise device of some sort, this sturdy, black, open-cell foam cylinder is 5-1/2" long x 2-7/8" dia with a 1/2" ID bore through its center. We see it threaded on nylon rope for life as a pool-lane or lakefront-swimming-area divider, or as a tasteful boat bumper. (Yes, it floats.) But it has lots of bumper-type, uses, too, like slipping a couple behind a step-on garbage can to keep it from bumping into the kitchen wall. Just for starters. Think about the potential….

Marble Slabettes
Marble bases with small imperfections. But hey, who among us doesn't have a few? Made from a beautiful white marble, they were intended as trophy bases but can be used to display art, small science projects, etc. They are 3" X 3" X 3/4" thick and some boast soothing cork bottoms to protect the furniture. Made in Italy.

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.

Celestial Inspiration
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-This toy is or contains a small ball. Not for children under 3 yrs.
The planets. You can own them. These wood balls with holes drilled in them (but not through them) were meant to be planets and moons for a solar system model. Do it yourself. You and your kids will learn a lot more than if you bought a kit that does all the thinking for you. Some balls are painted bright colors, some are varnished natural wood. Most have at least one 1/4" hole, some have smaller holes. They could also be joints and/or finials for some kind of dowel construction. Nothing to stop you from drilling new holes for a truly custom project.

Light Duty Magnets/Desk Toys
These tiny alnico magnets are a mere 3/8" long x 1/8" dia cylinders, slightly larger than ice-cream jimmies, with approx 1/4-oz lift. They could hold sticky notes that have lost their sticky, and they hang on to each other end-to-end really nicely, so a bunch of them are fun to play with as a desktop toy, but they're really great for magnetic reed switches. Sold in packages of (25) or try the (200) pack for huge savings!

Fridge Frogs
Appliance amphibians. Green, blue, orange, plain and spotted. Printed and precut on 5-1/4" x 4-1/4" magnetic sheets, ready to punch out and plop onto the ice box. Each sheet has (6) frogs, so you get (30) colorful croakers in all, or enough to cover a whole kitchen's worth of appliances. Ribbit indeed.

Fun With Iron Filings
Messy fun, you’ll agree, if you've ever seen kids playing with magnets and iron filings, or sharing them in a science class. Our each is 3/8 oz, which is approx 146 gazillion filings, and pure hell to clean up unless you have one of our handy-dandy aforementioned magnets!

Interesting Ceramics
Ceramic magnets, 15/16" dia x 3/16" thick. One side has a 5/16" sq that goes through to a steel plate is octagonal, 9/16" across with a 3/16" dia hole in the center. The plate allows flexible mounting of the 3/4 lb lift magnet. The other interesting feature is that the ceramic appears to have many poles around the rim, (4 ea N and S). This may be a focussing effect of the insert, though.

I Had A Hard Life
Let me rephrase that. I was in a hard drive. But I'm out now, a nice little grippy magnet pretty much permanently glued to a 2-1/2" x 3/4" x 1/8" boomerang-shaped steel plate with (4) mounting holes, (2) mounting slots, and I may or may not have a leftover plastic clip on a small post. Howsabout giving me a home? I'm quirky looking, but really quite attractive, with my 12 lb pull.
