Fiberglass rod, 3/16" dia. It is quite stiff, but flexible and we will give you a 10 ft length coiled. Nice yellow plastic coating. Since the world court has ruled out caning, you are going to have to come up with your own use for it.

27529 ALUM TUBE, 10 FT |
Start fires with this heavy iron tray. Roughly 9" x 4" x 2" deep, it has a loop handle on each end, a fire brick inside, and "lid" that is mostly open but with bands to retain the brick. The instructions on the back say to pour kerosene or charcoal lighter over the brick, place it under your logs and fire away. Hook a chain onto a handle to pull the tray out of the ashes for reuse. We suggest you stick to kerosene and restrict use to big outdoor bonfires etc. lest you burn the house down. You will need to furnish a pair of nuts and bolts to secure the lid to the base.

The instructions with this chrome-plated ladder thing 2-1/8" x 24" long say you wire flowers to it or poke fabric through it to make a garland, but it's cooler than that. Slightly curved, with 1" between rungs, it's a natural for a hamster ladder. On its side, it's a great fence for a toy zoo. Slick chrome kitchen? Hang it with drying herbs. Laid belly-down, it sits there and rocks and amuses you - but then, we're very easily amused.

They are packaged in sets of (12) and come in great assorted colors and are 2” dia x 7/8” deep. Each is an ideal carrying case for paints, many different screws, or other sets of small items or quantities that must remain separate. Prices are per set.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
A litter of tiny pink pigs, eensie elephants, or formally dressed penguins awaits you. Nicely detailed in solid rubber, they’re all approx 1” long (or tall). The (12) pigs in the pack are perfect for populating your toy barnyard, replacing houses in your Farmopoly set, or tracking Congressional pork projects. The (8) elephants make a nice home zoo, a Hannibalian motor pool, or GOP party favors. The (8) penguins look particularly cute marching along on parade, although we think that getting (80) of them for under 30 bucks is a bargain way to make your own penguin movie. And they’d all string along nicely for animal-jewelry designers. (Careful with the toddlers—these are eminently swallow-able.)
