The magnifying lens has a flip-down cover, which converts it to a reading lamp.

OK, OK, it’s not actually life-size, but it’s a humongo-model, over a yard long (38-1/2”), which is 1:245 scale. It will look life-size if you lie on the floor and squint when you look up. Includes a detailed, lighted interior and no, it didn’t blow up--that was the Hindenburg. This zeppelin flew for 10 years, from 1928 to 1938, logged over 112 thousand miles in 1932 alone and averaged 56.2 mph. This model sold for $89.50 elsewhere, but for you--a special bargain because it will look so incredible floating over your dining-room table. For ages 12+.

As long as they weigh one pound or less, you’re in business with these Scotch® brand self-adhesive, black hook-and-loop fasteners from 3M. These are expensive little buggers in bix box stores, but not here. Measure 7/8” square, and are rated for 1-lb per pad, so your heavier hang-ups will need a couple.

Think: holders for handouts, or for table-top displays that will hold 8.5” x 11” sheets for students or employees to take. In heavy plastic from Mead®, they unfold into an easel with a pocket to hold sheets horizontally in front, and a clear plastic window below, to identify the contents. When not in use, they fold up, and have an elastic cord to hold them closed. We’ll pick a pair in blue, aqua or lime green.

Newtonian demonstrator for science teachers. Mindless play for the rest of us. These are shiny, nicely balanced, high-performance examples of the classic Newton's Cradle - a ball on one end of a row of (5) suspended, barely touching balls swings into the others, and the ball at the opposite end reacts to the collision. The 11/16" dia balls in the small version (all-metal frame 6-1/2" high x 4" x 4-1/4") will collide about 30 times. The 7/8" dia balls in the large version (metal frame 5-1/4" high x 4" x 6", with a wooden base) will collide about 100 times. Awesome. Even more awesome that we paid someone to count the bounces just for you! (Unpacking note: Less awesome if you just yank it out by the suspension lines and pull a couple of balls loose. Be gentle.)

Your long nasal nightmare is over because we now carry a battery-operated nose-hair trimmer. (Also good for another nightmare--ear hair.)

These are for close work only, from 1" to 1-1/2", and can focus only one lens at a time (not both on the same object) so if you’re a steampunker looking for a new accessory, plan on perching this rig on your pate or chapeau.

An exhausted physicist. Also this 3-1/4" dia camping lantern. Stands 5” tall with fold-down handles, but pull up those handles and reveal the super-bright, a whopping 600 lumen COB LED light inside.

The lower jaw is movable. A perfect addition to any lab, living room or themed party.
