Means "staining stand" or "color rack" in German, and we think it's some sort of lab gizmo, but in English it translates to a nice, heavy glass dish 8-5/8" x 5-7/8" x 2-1/8", with a 1/4" thick wall. It comes with an adjustable, rectangular metal frame, 6-1/2" to 11" x 2-1/2" x 3-1/8", that fits over it. The dish looks suitable to bake in to us, and carries the Assistent logo. It's certainly a good serving dish, and with a few rubber bands the rack could be a watercolor brush stand/cleaner. Or you could open a German staining lab.

Called the Body Guard, this pager-sized 3" x 2-1/8" x 7/8" personal alarm comes with an adjustable lanyard for wrist or neck with a mini-plug at the end. Pull the plug, it screams at 110 to 130 dB, which is alarming but not painful. The lanyard can be used to secure luggage or briefcases to a chair. Also has a removable belt clip. You add a 9V battery.

Sextants came along after astrolabes but before GPS. (Just like you.) They're used for finding latitude and the distance between objects, and are still the non-electric, non-satellite-dependent back-up for navigators. Ours is a beauty in solid brass with glass optical components, at a tiny price. Measures approx 4-5/8" x 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" OA and comes in a very nice wooden case. Includes instructions for use, which you're going to need unless you went to Annapolis where they still teach it because computers can still go all kaflooey. (Note that well before computers started going kaflooey, compasses and sextants lost an adventurer here and there, too, so don't call us if you and the sextant set out for Madagascar and end up in Iceland.) Sorry, due to overwhelming popularity we are sold out of the sextants.

This aspheric glass lens is 62mm (2.44") dia with a focal length of 42mm. Apart from your standard lens-ish optics applications, we think it also lens itself to use as an entertaining desktop spin toy, and we figure it would make a dandy bulls-eye in a leaded glass window.
