Glorious Steam Stationary Plants...

Warning!  WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

Build a real head of live steam in the boiler, ease the throttle open and watch the engine take off. The stationary steam plants have nickel plated brass horizontal boiler, water gauge, whistle, safety valve, throttle, 3" dia flywheel and power takeoff pulley. Our dry pellet fuel model (includes 20 fuel pellets) has a single action horizontal piston engine and comes as a kit. It requires about 2 hours to assemble and mount on its roughly 7" sq base, using simple tools like pliers and screwdriver. Assembly adds to the fun and cuts the price! All parts of each are precision metal, plated or enameled as appropriate. Select a small DC motor that will operate as a generator from our catalogs and see if you can become a 19th century electric utility!! Requires light assembly. Ages 10 and up. Add a box of (20) extra fuel pellets for even more hours of enjoyment!

Advent Sampler

A 14" sq lightly padded cloth advent-like calendar hangs from a plain wood dowel with knobs on the end. Santa, a teddy bear and a penguin stand in a wintry scene in the middle and (3) black wire hearts are the hanging apparatus above the dowel. Around the edge are the numbers "1" through "24", each with a button over it. You get to make whatever you are going to hang on each button to count down to Christmas! Or, you can just move the included wooden heart from date to date. The color scheme is predominantly rusty red, grey and white. The tone of the piece is more craft and sampler than holiday, and it is entirely devoid of any religious symbolism, although it is advent calendar-like in use.

Diskette Cases

Individual cases for 3–1/2” computer discs. The nice thing about these is that they are stiff enough to protect the disc but just flexible enough not to be brittle and break the way most “jewel” cases do. Red, blue, purple or gold, all are translucent enough to read interior labels. We pick your color.

Liddle Ladder

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.

Suit Your Soil

Grow a beautiful garden full of plants that love your soil! It's easy if you know your soil's pH, and we have a gauge to help you! Stick the probe into moist soil for the pH to register in a separate 4" x 2" x 1" gauge box on the end of a 26 ft. cord. That let's you keep the probe in the garden while reading the gauge at your doorstep! A needle indicates the pH on a scale of 3.5-9, and you get a list of which plants like which pH levels.

Cranked-up water heaters mean clean laundry, but risky showers. The 1-1/2" wide x 2" long Scald Guard has a standard 3/4" thread, and screws in between your shower head and water pipe. You decide what "too hot" is, and the adjustable valve reduces the water flow to a trickle when it hits that temperature. Make life safer, especially for the very young and the very old.
