The pulley should be the last thing you buy. It is not in the "critical path", as they say in construction. That means no further operations are dependent on its installation. As for kids, moving belts and children should not occupy the same space. They might be safer in an unsupervised swimming pool or chasing a bouncing ball across the street.
Your "militrary rate" would appear to be the same as my civilian rate even as a veteran who did not disclose his prior service. I was quoted the same price several years ago. Don't forget the shipping both ways.
I have bought two NOS pulleys complete with gearboxes in factory wooden crates. Yeah, no cardboard packaging. Both were chocolate colored. I don't know if that was due to ageing or whether Paper Pulleys manufactures them differently. I have seen newly manufactured pulleys and they are much lighter in color. There is also a tactile difference in that the NOS pulleys seem kinda tacky. No, that doesn't mean cheap in this context.
There is no maintenance on a good paper pulley. There may be paint issues on a cast pulley if one is inclined to follow an a museum grade maintenance program.
If you are concerned about maintaining the appearance of a new paper pulley, slide a plastic grocery bag over it. But that is not really necessary. Occaisonal water from a hose or from the sky won't have any effect.
