2. Wall Fountain -- Copper
   A wall mounted water fountain is an operating water fountain that hangs on the wall. This is very convenient, as it does not require a lot of assembly, yard work or a great deal of maintenance. The fountains themselves can be made of practically any substance from copper to brass to even slate stone. The designs of these fountains can be ornamental and very detailed, or more traditional in design. Some incorporate very exquisitely crafted artwork into the design, whether in laser etchings or in background drawings. Many of these fountains not only provide artistic design but even give added visual stimulation with their lighting effects.

4. Harry Houdini -- Sir Arthur
   Houdini passed the slate to Sir Arthur for examination. He was then requested to suspend the slate in the middle of the room, by means of the wires and hooks, leaving it free to swing in space, several feet distant from anything. In order to eliminate the possibility of electrical connections of any kind, Sir Arthur was asked to fasten the hooks over anything in the room which would hold them. He hooked one over the edge of a picture-frame, and the other on a large book, on a shelf in Houdini's library. The slate ... swung free in space, in the center of the room, being supported by the two wires passing through the holes in its upper corners. The slate was inspected and cleaned.
5. Address Plaque -- Paints
   This beautiful slate address plaque is stylish, distinctive and very durable. The address plaque is made of slate that has been newly quarried in the US and is hand-cut to size. The slate is deeply carved, then painted with weather-resistant exterior enamels for years of outdoor or indoor enjoyment. Each slate item has features and color variations that give the slate its natural beauty and unique character.
