It's 1953 all over again! Now you can buy your favorite childhood toy for your grandkids! We have the original Burp Gun that rapid-fires small ping-pong-type balls the length of our office as fast as we can pump the barrel (no batteries needed). All right, we remember the grip of the original as plain old brown plastic, and this one is bright red - but kids are used to a lot more stimulation these days! The Burp Gun, which comes with 15 balls, is 30" long when fully extended. The Burp Pistol, which comes with 7 balls, is 12" at its smallest and extends to 17". Great fun - but maybe you'd better buy a couple of bags of extra balls (10 per bag). Big sisters still stomp on them.

Pick up this 1-3/4" x 7/8" x 3/8" ceramic pick-up magnet while we still have it. It's in a heavy metal housing and has a stationary metal hoop, about 1/2" i.d., on top. The manufacturer tells us the magnet will grab up to 30 lbs of metal, and while Pat wouldn't bet on anything over 20 lbs, it's still very strong. Especially if you're going to dangle it on the end of a cord to gather spilled nails or to fish your keys out of the lake/pond/sewer/drain!

“Men’s Room.” “Exit.” “Never put off until tomorrow what you can put off until the week after next.” Craft an artful message on one of these good–looking 3/8” to 1/2” thick pressboard plaques with beveled edges. (Exception: The 3” x 5–1/2” is unfinished 1/4” plywood, for a more casual look.) All are light–colored, all have a couple of 3/8” dia holes near the top. For a nice down–home country look, hang your plaque by the 20” to 35” lengths of twine threaded through the holes. For a classy look, apply a faux metal finish, drill (2) more holes, and mount it with brass screws. Perfect for whatever message you want to send.

Hey, Coppoletta! Add realism to your home flicks with a Hollywood director's slate board. This 8" x 7" version is wood, painted black with white lettering. The traditional striped arm on top cracks down on the palimpsest where you chalk in the Production, Director, Camera, Date, Scene and Take. Very Vérité

We were absolutely flummoxed when we saw these brummagem globes! How did these Moroccan–inspired accessories show up in our warehouse, instead of some trendy home–decor shoppe? The shiny 3–7/8" dia plastic metallic looking globes are wrapped in a copper–colored exterior armature, graced with (2) metallic–gunmetal marbles in a similar, if finer, armature, hanging from a 28" plated, copper–colored chain silver in color. All we can say is "Yes, Martha, there is a Santa Claus."

Are the kids growing up with pride? Radiating good cheer? You can tell for sure with...What? It’s for nuclear radiation? An old Civil Defense meter? Bummer. Apparently, this OCD radiation meter from the Victoreen Mfg. Co. was made to sniff out the residue of the nuclear holocaust when you emerged from your bomb shelter. Calibrated 5 r/hr (Roentgen) with a X 0.1, X1, X10, X100 sensitivity selector, it runs on (1) “D” battery (not included.) The Civil Defense yellow boxes are about 8” x 4–1/2” x 3–1/2”. It comes with complete instructions for use. The CD V–777–2 includes two 4–1/2” long x 1/2” dia dosimeters and a 2” x 4” x 4” dosimeter charger. This one is used, but it works fine, even if it looks a bit scuffed.

How many times have we told you to be careful? Only a couple of hundred times if you’re looking at the 3” wide roll that repeats CAUTION • CUIDADO for 200-ft — but we should get extra points for warning you in both English and Spanish. And then there’s the 1,000 feet of 3” tape marked CAUTION BURIED ELECTRIC LINE BELOW. How many times have we told you not to play with electricity…???
