Why does Roger always get the credit for the skull and crossbones pirate flag? We feel it is time to share and have elected Barry to the post because he just walked by the vast editorial department here at A.S.&S. (AKA "my desk") Our Jolly Barry flag is 3ft x 5 ft., black polyester with a reinforced edge containing grommets for flying. It has the traditional skull and crossbones in white with the added fillip that the skull is wearing an eye patch! Sail Away!!

Put a touch of Mid-Century Modern on your wall with our German-made Lachman & Sons Hydrometer. Measures 6-1/4" dia, in understated brass and silver with black and gold numbers and design elements. Has guides that indicate “Too Dry,” “Satisfactory” and Too Damp” conditions. Mounting hardware included. The vintage cardboard box it comes in is also very cool. 

Jarvis Says: A little quote about these beauties below from their original owner. "These pieces were custom designed by my father. He traveled to Germany shortly after WWII in the early 1950s and developed a business relationship with a company called MOCO in Hamburg, Germany. They produced high quality weather instruments of all kinds. They are now out of business but they imported these pieces from them up until the 1960s when they were primarily selling business gifts and shipping them all over the country."

Jarvis Says Part 2: Please allow units at least 24 hours to adjust out of the packaging before attempting calibration. Use a small paper clip for the hygrometer to adjust.

Hang this holographic prism in the window for delicate, changing color effects. As the sun shines through, it throws splashes of red, yellow, green, blue, violet and more around the room. The glass disc is 4-1/8" dia x 1/4" thick with a chrome-look frame. Comes with a suction cup hanger to mount it on a window. (Find a way to make it rotate for an especially cool effect!)

Want to run a really big shell game? You'll need a big bunch of shells, and you've come to the right place. These are all real, and clean as a whistle, or whatever else is that clean. You pick: the bag of approx (110) nutmeg snail shells measuring 1” give or take a tad—periwinkle shells with nutmeg-colored dashes spiraling around the shell; or the bag of approx (40) murex snail shells, the traveling homes of largish, predatory sea snails that run 2” to 4” long with a bunch of nasty-looking spikes, a few of which may have chipped off. But that’s the be expected, right?

Charms, charms and more charms. Some say these little guys are quite charming. Small charms with magnets attached to small magnets originally used inside a speciality frame. The frames are all gone but the charms remain. Great for the fridge or kids locker. Bunches of different styles. We will pick at least 5 different in your assortment.

We’ve never felt the need to hang Illinois flag curtains on the windows here at the home office, but we understand they do things differently in Texas. Hence, our each is a pair of Texas-flag curtains, each at 36" x 30" with 2” pockets at the top for a curtain rod, plus a 58” x 14” valance, because it ain’t a window treatment without a valance, hoss. If you disagree, the valance would also make a nice scarf to wear while tailgating at Sooners games.

Like sweat pants. These self-adhesive and repositionable classroom aids will make geography like two pieces of cake, or at least a box of cookies.  (2)-piece political/physical map of the United States, 36” wide x 24” tall when applied to a wall. Put ’em up, take ’em down. They’re always there for you, like those old reliable sweat pants.

This decorative porcelain harlequin mask is a tchotchke-sized 4” tall x 3” wide, with a ribbon to hang it by. Glazed white with gold and rose highlights. It could be worn by a cat for Carnivale, but they really don’t enjoy dressing up, so probably best to just hang it on a wall.
