Other balloon brands. Other parts. We have dismantled a lot of balloons
and have lots and lots of pieces and parts: D-rings, V-Rings, O-Rings,
Clips, Carabiners, Fasteners, Shackles, Suspension Blocks. We'll
keep adding to this list, so keep checking.
As soon as I learn how to put images on the website (pretty soon...I'm
learning!) I'll post photos of some of these items. In the meanwhile,
if you are interested in something particular and would like a photo
e-mailed, I can handle that.
A work in progress...
