It’s a 5-draw extension shaft that extends from 7” to nearly 26”. One end has a padded black rubber handle and the other has, well, nothing. To be fair, it has a 3/8” long metal cylinder with a 7/32” ID at the business end, but for what, we don’t know. We suspect it was on its way to being some kind of pick-up tool but got distracted. As is, it’s a dandy pointer or the beginning of a clever something that you’re going to invent.

Is it spring? Well, it’s a spring. This steel extension spring is technically a “short throttle return spring” and measures 2-1/4" long x 7/16", but it will be just as happy returning anything else if your throttle is already back where it belongs.

Simple is good, and life don't come much simpler. This U-shaped 1-1/8" deep drawer pull/cabinet handle is molded cream-colored plastic. Matte finish, 3/8" dia, 3/16" unthreaded bores, 4" centers. Recycle a couple of screws from the old handle, 'cause we won't be sending you new ones. Simple.

The world of surplus works in mysterious ways. Here we have assorted V-shaped aluminum channels 5-3/4" long x 5/8" wide across the 120° Vs. Picture these nestled behind glass thermometer tubes, imprinted with assorted scales, each with a small mounting hole at the top, maybe tiny crimp-clips to mount the thermometer that isn't there, and a diamond-shaped opening at the bottom for the glass bulb that also isn't there. Then add your own thermometers, use them as teaching aids, string 'em together for tracks or marble runs, or get really creative.
