Flat Marbles
They look like glass marbles that were dropped on a cold slab when the glass was molten. Hence they have a flattened blob shape, about 1/4" thick and as big as 1" x 3/4" or as small as 1/2" dia. across. All are translucent, except for white, which is solid white. Talented folk use them in flower arrangements, to fill a jar or glass as decoration or for similar tasteful purposes. The rest of us use them for joke marbles, non-jumping tiddlywinks and board game pieces. Our each is a bag of (100) marbles.

Glasnost Pays Off
No one beats the Russians when it comes to inexpensive, high quality lab equipment. Everyone from electrical engineers to botanists to archeologists to jewelers will appreciate the craftsmanship of this 4.8x-98x stereo microscope. The scope comes with 0.6x, 1x, 2x, 4x, and 7x objectives plus pairs of 14x and 8x eyepieces, all with high quality achromatic lenses. Furthermore, it’s as loaded with extras as a Lexus off the lot: eye guards, arm rests, a scale reticle built into the 8x eyepiece and a grid reticle, a 14.5” adjustable stand to accommodate samples of all sizes. Also comes with a 6vac/20w illuminator with adjustable brightness, light condenser, and light filter for oblique/transmitted light and a substage reflector with a mirrored side and a diffusive white second side for transparent/translucent specimens.

Who Needs A License?
Buy a bucket of these nicely finished 1/2" to 5/8" dia wooden beads with 1/8" to 1/4" holes, and you're halfway to being a cabdriver. These are just right for weaving into the beaded seat cushions in every big-city cab. There are two sizes of round beads in a natural color, and barrel-shaped in-between sized beads in dark brown. We're not going to count each one, but we know there are about 150 beads in each 1/4 lb bag. If you drive too well to qualify as a cabdriver, string the beads on elastic for great bracelets.

Self–Adhesive Vinyl
What’s faster, neater and less permanent than paint? Self-adhesive vinyl! Peel the backing off these 10 ft rolls of 15” wide vinyl to cover shelves, make signs, turn that avocado refrigerator into a classy black. The bold solid colors include Black, Olympic Blue, Bright Orange, Sunflower Yellow and Tomato Red. At 3 mil, it has enough body to make it easy to handle if you have basic motor skills. If you can’t handle it, call your old gym teacher, not us. We have enough trouble with our own motors.

A Few Good Dowels
A good dowel is always a good buy, and we’ve got some good dowels at great prices! These wood dowels come from the Southeast Asian ramin tree (not related to the ramen noodle). It’s a hardwood, a very nice blonde color and moderately heavy. The dowels are strong, stainable, and warp–resistant. All are 12” long; a package is (22) 1/8” dia dowels, (10) 1/4” dia, (5) 1/2” dia or (2) 1” dia dowels.

Bend Me, Shape Me
Wow, we have 8 oz bars of Super Elasticlay, a polymer clay from those crafty guys who brought you Sculpey(tm). Create a push mold, bake it in your home oven, and voila! It retains its shape so that you can use it as a mold, but stays soft enough to pop out those Sculpey or plaster clones. Use it for flexible toys and sculptures, too. A nice statue of your significant other, maybe, that will bend to your every whim.

Egg McChameleon
Another gem plucked from the A.S.&S. mirabilia. The shape and size of a hen egg, this opaque stone (or matte-finished glass - we're not sure which) is interesting in itself. Touched with a red penlight in a dark room, the entire egg becomes a brilliant ruby color. Blue light/blue egg, etc. Fun and fascinating, and with a little sleight of hand, a sure way to convince the plebeians that you have some mysterious metaphysical power.

Shrink Plastic
Incredible stuff!! And even better than those dinky cutouts you used to make! Our each is a pack of (8) 8" x 10-1/2" shrinking plastic sheets that start clear and stay clear. Draw a design, write a message, create a sign, whatever. Cut it out, bake it in a 350° oven for about 3 minutes, and it shrinks to 45% of its original size. Problem with certain pencils and markers on the slick sheets? Try a light sanding (320-400 grit) before writing on it. (The surface will be more opaque.) What a fun way to make small errors become insignificant!

Artist's Brushes
Maybe a little eclectic for an artist with a single style, but perfect for one who's still searching for himself. Or for any hobbyist. There are no (2) brushes exactly alike in this set of (15). They all have natural bristles, color-coded wooden handles and metal ferrules, but they range from fairly fine to 1/2" wide, and 7" to 10" long. There are at least (3) different kinds of bristles, and they are round, blunt and pointed. A nice variety, and a very nice quality for this price.

A Working Wonder
If we had a category just for customers who lust after Jules Verne inventions and elegant gadgetry, this would be in it. The wonderful brass sundial, a reproduction of an antique, is approx 3" dia x 11/16" thick overall, and actually works! A latitudinal gauge lets you tilt the engraved dial to the correct angle for your location, and a bubble and three leveling feet allow the 1-1/2" dia lock-down compass to point in the precise direction. And if you never took it out into the sunshine, you'd still love it for the look and logic of it.

Helping Hands... and Eyes
We just wish there was something, anything, to do around here that required this thing, on account of it's so cool. Our newest Helping Hand has a pair of alligator clips on swiveling arms, likewise a 2-1/4" dia x 1.5X magnifier plus an LED flashlight on a gooseneck. Everything swivels every way there is and tightens with little thumbscrews-and some of the configurations look like it's maybe alive, and from Venus. Jewelry makers? Diamond cutters? Forensic scientists? Maybe we'll start making small electronics, or tying flies.
