Direct from our faithful hospital supply suppliers--handy dandy (and brand new) tubs for storing, sorting, scrubbing, or schlepping toys, mittens, craft supplies, chicken feed, whatever. In yellow/gold pretty-much-indestructible #5 plastic, each is approx 13" x 10" x 5" deep. (Some might be a tad smaller). They have lips and rounded ends, nest when not in use, and are graduated inside from 2 to 6 quarts.

These watertight aluminum screw-top canisters are gasketed, lined in nylon and come with a 1" slip ring to attach to whatever. Measure just over 2-1/2" tall x 1-1/8" dia, so they're suitable for a lot of pills or any number other things you need to keep dry or safe. We'll pick one in black, red, gold, blue or green.

You know those big, long pillboxes with a compartment for every day of the week? These are like that, but in a smaller, pocket-purse size, just 5-1/8” long x 1” x 7/8”. Compartments are marked with the day of the week and are 1” x 5/8” x 11/16” deep, with snap lids. In translucent white plastic.

Eye dropper, tongue dropper, test tube dropper, petri dish dropper, anywhere dropper. Use this 3" glass dropper, with a rubber squeeze bulb to drop small amounts of liquid wherever you think they should go. You will have to measure by counting drops, though, because there are no markings on it. Also, it is called "3" because that is about how long the glass tube is. Overall, it is 4" long.

This isn't a book, but it's definitely book-ish. Looks like a leather-bound volume from the Bodleian but it's just a little wooden box, approx 8-1/2" x 5" x 2" (7" x 3-7/8" x 1-5/8" inside) that's perfect for stashing the jewels, cash, or whatever you need to stash in plain sight on the shelves.

Add a little pizazz to your nitro pills! This 1-3/4" x 1/2" dia container for meds is anodized aluminum in mostly silver but also could be in blue, turquoise, purple, red, gold (our choice). It's gasketed so it's watertight. We recommend cleaning the inside with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol before using, since some have a bit of rust-colored residue in them. Flashy!

The manufacturer says these magnetic canisters are “ideal for storing desk accessories,” although anything larger than paper clips or pushpins will be tough. On the other hand, they’re just the ticket for storing glitter, confetti and other tiny craft supplies. Our each is a 3-pack of 1-7/8” sq x 1-3/8” deep white plastic boxes with little disc magnets in the bottom. Tops have windows so you can see what you put in them.

Rejoice, we have finally found a source of reasonably priced borosilicate lab glassware. This is the kind of glass in the trade marked Pyrex(tm) and Kimax(tm) labware. The stuff you can put right over the flame of the Bunsen burner, or directly onto the hot plate. This stuff is imported from China, and is considered student grade, which is good enough for anything but the most exotic applications. We have beakers, test tubes, graduated cylinders and flasks. Compare the prices below and you will see that they are around half the U.S. equivalent. Call us for larger quantity prices.

Please Note: Physical sizes may vary slightly due to vendor and Mfg changes. Call or email for more info. 

In the lab or kitchen, these clear borosilicate glass mugs have a handle and lip and remind you that science is part of your every day. The smaller 4-1/2" 400mL one has graduations in 50mL increments and the larger 6" 1000mL one in 100mL increments with numeric markings every 100mL or 200mL accordingly; both with more room before you have to worry about spilling. May come with a pour spout on the side opposite the handle which won't affect your beverage consumption but will make it easier to water your favorite house plant. Not intended for serious lab use as the volumes are approximate. Remember to ask for 236.5ml of coffee the next time you visit your favorite diner.

For fashion-forward machine-gunners? No, for keeping track of medications. This is like a pillbox on steroids. Has (21) 3/4” x 7/8” x 9/16” compartments, marked Morn/Noon/Night for each day, with a separate color, in reverse spectrum order. Whole thing measures 7" x 3-1/4" x 3/4" in translucent plastic, with snap locks. Each 3-part day is also a separate section that can be carried alone, with snap-lock tops.

It looks as though it should be used for administering laudanum! A 30mL, 1-1/4" sq x 3" tall clear glass bottle, it has thick molded sides and a heavy lip: very antique in appearance. It is stoppered with a red(!) rubber stopper which is the squeeze bulb for the glass dropper tube inside. A real eye catcher, but give it a good wash please. It clearly is not sterile.

Call it the bag of a lesser messenger. This dark olive Extreme Pak™ tote looks like a mini-backpack but has a shoulder strap plus a pair of handles. Measures approx 11-1/2" tall x 8-1/2" wide x 6" deep front to back, it's got a big inside zippered compartment, a smaller zippered pouch on the bottom, a pair of hook-and-loop closed pockets on the top, plus a plethora (that'd be 10) of band loops to hang stuff off. Mfg suggested retail is over $30. Just saying.

These round tins with black enameled finish and silver edges are so understated and elegant, they’d be at home at any black-tie affair. Measure 3-3/4" dia x 1-1/8" tall and come with a matching lid. They’re 1" deep inside--perfect for party favors, or home storage of jewelry, craft supplies, loose change, paper clips, rubber bands and countless other essentials.

Just ask him where he got his bag. Probably here. This sturdy messenger bag in olive drab nylon measures 13” x 10” x approx 5” with a deep pocket, little pocket, long pocket, snapped pocket, clips for keys, straps for an umbrella, and a padded strap. On the smaller side for messengers, it’s perfect for students, commuters, travelers and anyone who carries a bunch of stuff. (Mr. Mom alert: nothing looks less like a diaper bag.) Manufacturer suggests a price of $44.95, but phooey on them, we say.

If I Could Put Glue In a Bottle Crafts and repairs are made much easier with an applicator bottle. This translucent 20ml/.68-oz plastic bottle with a screw-cap that has a 1-1/2" long x 1/32" dia dispenser needle with a protective cap.

You can store a plethora and a half of things in this staggeringly cute set of a dozen screw-top clear plastic canisters, 1-1/4" dia x 3/4" deep, that fit perfectly inside this 6-3/8" x 4-3/8" x 1" deep clear plastic lidded box. How they got those circles in a rectangle is a Euclidean mystery.

We’ve never had a bottle quite this one, in spring-like translucent-green coated glass. Plus it’s a dropper bottle, and the rubber bulb matches the pretty green color. Holds 10ml (1/3 oz), and measures 2-5/8” tall x 1” dia with a 7/16" ID mouth. Has a black plastic cap, and the 2” long glass dropper has a 1/16” ID tip.

Just like (pretty much) the old steel ammo can GIs carried, and then carried home to their garage workshops, but in olive drab or black plastic, which doesn’t rust. Measures 11" x 7" x 5" with a gasketed flip-up lid, 3” latch and a 5-1/4” folding handle on top. Weighs in at a little over a pound.

Please Note: Our current stock is black and not sure when olive drab will be back.
