Large plastic hook, pointed on one end, blunt on the other. We have no idea what it was made for. Some suggest a meat hook in a pet food factory, which the shape supports. But the red or white plastic suggests not. Maybe it is for veggies? A loyal reader is convinced that it goes over a door and bananas are hung from it. Sounds good to us. The blunt end is shaped to hang over a square beam, 1-1/4" or so thick. The other pointy end, when the hook is so hung, will be 3" from the beam top, and will point out 3" and up @ about 15°. The whole is made of 3/8" dia plastic rod. You figure out what to do with it.

22490 PENCIL TORCH |
A receptacle for bad hair day thoughts, office supervisor's observations on your work, and your mother-in-law on the third day of her visit. It is clear vinyl, 8" x 13", punched for a 2-ring binder and has (8) pockets each sized to hold a 6" strip of 35 mm film negative. This last attribute will be as exciting to the few A.S.&S. devotees who do not have vivid imaginations as it was to the folks at 3M who made the product and thought that was it's only use. Our "each" totals (10) pages with space to hold a grand total of 320 negatives exposures. Is a negative exposure a coverup??

Budding lapidarians will lap up this rock polishing kit which is so complete it even contains some rocks. The polishing tumbler has a (3) lb. ((1) qt.) fifteen sided rubber barrel and is driven by a 115 VAC motor. Overall dimensions are 6" x 6" x 7-1/2" high. In addition to the tumbler, the kit includes an assortment of jewelry findings and a detailed manual giving you easy to follow instructions. But don't think of it only as useful for jewelry making. As a hobby, our Uncle George for many years collected and polished a wide variety of rocks which he found interesting and made beautiful in and of themselves.
