Der zipper. Best fabric-closure invention since the button. This zipper is 49" long x 1" wide in black nylon, both teeth and fabric (sleeping-bag length, but not what we'd consider sleeping bag strength). And it's the really-small-tooth type that practically disappears when it's closed.

That's what it says on the label, but we don't get it either. We think it's just good quality nylon cord at a bargain. We offer a package of (4) spools (with 1-1/2" long spindles), each with 25 feet of .015" thick, 27-lb test nylon cord. Don't feel obligated to retrieve bait with it.

Ahhh, the essence of surplus. This 1-7/8" wide woven black luggage strap with a plastic buckle on it, turns out to have a defective plastic buckle on it! It's still a sturdy 65" strap, and can be adjusted to a 32" loop, but we want to be up front about it and warn you not to use the buckle. It breaks too easily. On the other hand, it's priced accordingly! Is this a deal, or what?!?

All right, we don't have the brooms to go with these bristles. Nobody's perfect. The bristles are neat, though. Most are clear, black, brown, or mixed black and white, and range from 2-3/4" to 6" in length. The individual, (approx) 11 mil bristles are tightly wrapped in 2-1/4" to 3" dia bundles. That would be, like, a gazillion or so per bundle. We'll pick a size and color for you. If you're a taxidermist looking for animal whiskers, a hobbyist looking for unusual craft materials, or a broombuilder looking for bristles, you've come to the right place.

(polyethylene terephthalate) plastic bottles, by a small Brazilian community of 380 people. You get 50 feet of 1/4" dia braided monofilament rope, 4X more resistant to UVA/UVB rays than polypropylene. Assorted colors, our choice.
