WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Say your prayers, Catholic school survivors! You've met your match with Nunula. Her size and gait are remarkably similar to those of Sparkdino, and she spews similar (though much more holy) sparks from her gaping mouth. She's decked out in the church's finest: black robe and hood with a white wimple, a cross around her neck, bible in one hand, and a ruler (shudder!) in the other. Now stop playing and get back to your lessons!

Dense white foam pad, self-adhesive on the back, for manly protection against all sorts of masculine bumps. 4-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 3/16" thick, but cut it to whatever size you need. Line your football helmet, cover your knuckles before a bar brawl, clinch it between your teeth for surgery without anesthesia, or keep furniture from scratching the floor (wimp).

You may call them "Allen" but we think they may actually be the perfect tool to finally get our artist, Alan, tuned up. We hope this here-to-fore hopeless task will yield to one of the (6): 1/4", 7/32", 3/16", 1/8", (2) 1/16". They have the usual right angle bend with a long leg of 2" to 3" and a short one of 3/4" to 1-1/2", depending on size. The quality is only adequate. May the be as appropriate to your tasks as they are to ours! Certainly the price is right.

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.

Optical grade unsilvered glass prism from Uncle's WWII tank periscopes. This one is 2-1/8" on the hypotenuse, 5-3/4" long, and 1-1/2" on each leg. They may come with small non-interfering chips or surface scratches. Great for classroom experiments or for art projects. These are a true surplus find and they will not last forever so get yours today!

3538 MINI-MONSTER PRISM |
Polished glass equilateral prisms. Equilateral because each edge of the end is the same length, 32mm. Thus, as all you geometry students know, each of the angles is also the same, 60 degrees. These are school grade and are fine for decorative and demonstration. They do a nice job of diffracting light to produce a nice rainbow-like spectrum, but are definitely not up to instrumentation standards. The missing dimension, length, is shown below.

Mystery Boxes of stuff like what you see in the catalog. Maybe we had a little left but not enough to continue the listing. Maybe we only got a few as part of an odd lot. Maybe we just lost some, and just found them in our warehouse. You will get items which originally listed for at least $25.00 total in our catalog (or would have, if we had enough). You pick. The "electro-mechanical" box has things like motors, switches, hardware and components that are useful parts but want to be worked into something bigger. The "consumer" box has more ready-to-go type items, and things that don't have as technical a flavor, like bottles, toys, books and giant rubber bands. The fun is in the mystery and surprise. Perfect if you don't know what to give Aunt Maude and Uncle Ned, or if you can't decide how to bring your order up to the minimum. Every couple of months the contents will keep changing, so even if you have gotten a box before, feel free to order again! (Please note: Ordering multiple boxes at the same time will result in duplicate items.)

23610 CONSUMER SURPRISE BOX |
Very handy strap-like fastening devices with grooves or slots along their length and a clamping head at one end. Slip one around the things to be bundled, feed the free end through the clamp and pull tight. The grooves act like a ratchet in the clamp; the tighter you pull, the tighter it holds. They are a great non-rotting securing device for camping gear, sails, hanging signs, and, of course for bundling wires.

Optical imaging folk insist that their reflective surfaces be on top of the glass, because an optically minor “ghost” is created with back surface mirrors. These “First Surface” optical mirrors generally also have better glass and flatter surfaces than their household brethren. Delicate, with the fragile reflective surface exposed, they carry the prices that precision demands. If you are playing with lasers, photography or optical alignment, the first surface items below are what you need. Dimensions are included in the description as width x length x thickness, all in mm.
