Press the red top on this little toy gray jukebox and listen to (3) ’50s-ish pop tunes for approx 10 seconds each as the light flashes. Made of plastic, it looks as if it was meant to have something self-adhesive stuck on the front, probably as a promo item. Measures 5-3/4” x 4-5/8” x 2-3/8” and you add a pair of “AA”s. Train the dog to hit the top and become an internet sensation.

45078P1 TOY MUSIC-PLAYING JUKEBOX

Much better than a box of rocks, because fossils are more fun. You get (10): a trilobite, nautiloid, goniatid, petrified wood, coral, ammonite, dinosaur bone, sea urchin, shark tooth and a brachiopod, all in a handy storage case. Also comes with a fact sheet explaining what the mysterious ones were when they were alive. Also a free little fossil-inspection magnifier.

95436P1 FOSSIL KIT WITH CASE AND FACT SHEET

Think playing  cards for the Fourth of July poker game. This double deck of standard-sized cards, in a plastic case, is from Hoyle, the company that literally wrote the rule book. Features a waving flag on the back of one deck, and the Statue of Liberty on the other. Bonus: the wackiest-looking joker we’ve seen since Jack Nicholson.

44103P1 AMERICA-THEMED PLAYING CARDS

Our official Surplus Color Coordinator, Barb, assures us that “coyote” is a genuine gummint color for canvas, browner than olive drab, but bound to go with anything. This ammo pouch measures 6-1/2" x 4-1/4" x 2" with a molle buckle and a reinforced spacer inside. A pair of 1” x 6” long belt straps on the back make it easy to lash to anything. Marked "PKT AMMUN MAGAZINE 8465-01-516-8430 M67854-10-F-3026" but we found that it will hold any smart phone on the market with room for a couple of pop-tarts.

44269P1 BROWN AMMO POUCH WITH BUCKLE

Life, and needle-threading, is hard enough, so this little tailor's friend has a 3/32" loop with a white LED below it so you can see what you’re doing. Includes a pair of button-cell batteries and the threader has a cover plus a little hook so you can string it on something and find it in your sewing box.

44936P1 INSECT SHAPED COOKIE CUTTERS

These are big, curved, brushed-steel toenail clippers made by Mirra. (The clippers are steel; nobody has steel toenails except Clark Kent.) Pat, our pedicure expert, says they’re the nicest clippers he’s ever seen--in a salon or anywhere. Curved to fit your hand and nails, they’re 3-1/2” long x 5/8” wide, and there are currently no regulations preventing you from using them on your fingernails.

45041P1 LARGE CURVED NAIL CLIPPERS

Jeremy Bentham himself would have owned this ultimate driver set. (Oh, just go googly him and learn something.) You get a 4-1/4” long handle with a 4mm collet and chuck; a 4-1/8” extension bit holder with a 4mm port and (30) chrome vanadium bits including Phillips, slotted, hex, (9) Torx at T4-T20, and Pozi, all in a nice storage case.

95709P1 30-BIT DRIVER SET

In a cardboard color, this pressure-sensitive adhesive kraft-paper tape measures 3/4” and comes on a 25-foot roll in a plastic tape dispenser. Good for sealing and labeling, with a high tensile strength, and the first choice for picture framers.
