PC purists please move on to other items. These two books are exact reprints of 1882 and 1887 editions: “American Girls Handy Book”: How to amuse yourself and others, and “American Boys Handy Book”: What to do and how to do it. With 441 pp (Boys) and 474 pp (Girls) these books are absolutely crammed with ideas for activities, craft projects, information about nature and the world around us as well as charming Victoriana from the founders of boy and girl scouting. A real gift from Great Great Grandma’s attic. Both you and the kids will adore them and use them constantly, and we think members of both genders will enjoy both books in today’s world.

What’s left of a Kansas City cow after all the steaks are gone? Lots of leather! (Think buckskin, not biker jacket.) You choose from: 1) The one-piece Lace Leather Belly. Really more of a long half-belly, this solid piece of leather is between 2-1/2 and 3-1/2 sq feet. Ours was black, approx 10-1/2” wide x 53” long x 1/8” thick. 2) A pack of Leather Strips. Ours was a very assorted 2 lbs of strips and larger pieces of leather, 1/16” to 1/8” thick, in rust and brown. 3) The Farmer Bundle Repair Bag, 2 lbs of scraps in various colors. Ours contained a solid 12” x 8” black piece and a very large bundle of brown leather thongs 47” long x approx 1/8” square. Lots of variety, and lots of heavy leather for the price.

A variety of heat shrink tubing pieces. You get (10) pieces, each (1) foot long for a small price. Size Small means each piece will be at least 1/16” but not over 1/4” OD before shrinking, and about one half that after shrinking. Each may be red, black white, yellow or who knows what color. Snip them into smaller bits. Use them end to end for longer pieces. You can’t go wrong with this deal!!

22776 HEAT SHRINK TUBE, SM |
The big stuff: translucent white heat shrink tubing at 3/4" dia. Like most heat shrink, this one shrinks to half its size when heated. You get (2) 4-foot pieces, for a total of (8) feet, and it will be bent for shipping, but that won't hurt it. The internationally renowned heat-shrinking department here at the home office suggests using a heat gun, not a disposable lighter, for shrinking this stuff.

It's supposed to be a tool organizer for the garage or basement wall, but we like this sturdy gray-nylon-canvas and clear-vinyl hanging storage thingum for lots of other uses. It would function nicely on a closet or office wall or even on the back of a baby stroller (we'd use zip-ties to mount it there). Measures 24" x 16-1/2" wide and has (2) 6-1/2" x 6-1/2" x 9" deep pockets at the top plus a 14" wide x 8" x 9-1/2" deep pocket below that. It has metal corner inserts with keyhole slots in all four corners. Hang it full length, or fold it in half if it's not full.

Like a 300-lb Labrador for the shop. Our ceramic lift magnet is mounted in a metal housing with swivel that will attach to a standard threaded broom handle or painter's pole. Will lift approx 65 pounds, enough to retrieve microwave ovens from storm sewers or pull a small outboard motor from the bottom of a lake. Maybe.

Put this on the bedroom wall, and they'll think you hung the moon. Really. The Moon In My Room" is a detailed convex moon, 10" dia x 3" thick at the center, from Uncle Milton®. It will turn itself on in a darkened room (it's night-light bright, like the real moon) and run automatically through all (12) phases in 5-second intervals, or in manual mode with you at the remote control. The lamp takes (4) "AA" batteries, the remote takes (2), and you're buying. Includes a 15-minute audio CD tour of the moon, and has (3) slotted mounting holes on, you should pardon the expression, the dark side of the moon.
