Unfortunately this grand assortment of flags from America's past came without explanatory text - or maybe that's fortunate. Might make a challenging research project for a young historian. Cloth flags, about 4" x 6" (sizes vary slightly), on 10-1/2" gold plastic staffs. They even come from a U.S. manufacturer! Not all are U.S. national flags, but as near as we can tell all are part of American history. You'll get a shipment of (5) different flags. Wave on!

We've all seen those 4" dia balls that give answers to questions. Well this one does it with sarcasm: "Yeah, right," "Ask me if I care," and "Oh, please," are examples. As our regular customers know, we don't carry items like this, but sometimes we find them in our warehouse and list them just to get rid of them. So please help us out and buy yours now. Sure! (Sorry folks. Due to unforeseen circumstances the sarcastic ball is out til Jan. 2008.)

91356 SARCASTIC BALL |
The classic swinging balls, to amuse you on slow days in the office or physics lab, and to demonstrate Newton's Third Law. Drop one of the five hanging balls, one flies out from the other end; drop two and two fly out; drop three and it's amazing. The balls are set in a 7" x 9" x 9" high wooden frame. Isaac didn't invent these mesmerizing toys, by the way. That took Simon Prebble (whom some of you may remember as the evil Martin Chedwyn on "As the World Turns") who had an energy transference inspiration in 1967. (Where else can one learn these things?)

Good value hand held plastic spectroscope. It uses a diffraction grating to create the spectrum against a small measurement scale. (Hold it a couple of inches away from your eye for best results.) Fine for introductory science and demonstrating principles, and general observation, but not a precision instrument. Comes with simple instructions and explanatory write up.

Collecting staple removers instead of rare stamps? Here's a start: In addition to the standard 2-1/8" long V-shaped, 4-fanged remover, we have a 3-3/4" long scissors-type staple puller with a finger hole and thumb pad. Counting your thumbnail, that would make three, so far.
