Here on the prairie we resent the calling of those things one puts under a glass "coasters". Why should the ocean fronts always get the credit?? So we are offering these roughly 3-1/2" sq. plastic devices under the inland name of "plainsers" You will get (8) all the same color of our choice, be it orange, brown, gold, black, silver or clear. We say square, but the sides are slightly convex out. Kind of like our midriff. An excellent value under any name.

Sure, when it comes to optical precision, glass is king. But in other categories (price!), plastic is definitely heir to the throne. If you're not looking for precision, but just for some funky lenses for your art project, model or for messing around with light, these 20mm dia PCV lenses will work royally. 6.6mm thick, clear plastic with a -60mm focal length. With (2) 1/8" dia mounting nubs on the side; they should file right off if you don't like them. So let the bluebloods waste their bread on glass; you've got plastic.

The kids need presents for all the grandmas and great-aunts? You volunteer at the nursing home and need token gifts for your L-O-Ls? And your eyes aren't so good, either? Our each is really half a dozen pretty little magnifiers with round lenses and fancy handles. The handles are silver-bright (hard to believe they're aluminum) and all different. Each has a discreet hole in the tip for a jump ring so it could be worn on a necklace -- but it would look just as pretty on a desk. The overall length of the (6) magnifiers varies from about 3-3/4" to 5", the lenses from 1-1/4" to 1-3/4" dia. All are approx 2X magnification. Mary Ann's pick of the month.

A magnifier so big it made us wish there were someone around here with a clue. The 5" dia lens says 2.5X but is more like 1.5X. It's just over 10" long OA, in a sturdy plastic frame with a contoured rubber grip, an acrylic lens, and a mysteriously low price.

Our each is (24) air-filled plastic balls, 3" dia, in red, blue, yellow and green. Yes, they're very much like the pile of balls you find in a ball-pit at your local McBurger joint, so maybe you'd better get a couple of dozen bags. And a pit. Perfect for small-fry batting practice or outdoor Christmas ornaments.
