Description
The wooden parts of the box & its hinges are sound & intact.Discovered this chem set in the basement of an historic St Paul home. Definitely a nostalgia item.
Wooden box is hinged, and opens up to a “work lab.” It shows wear and but is still sound. Included tools are heavily rusted. test tube vials (all opened) hold various chemical powders and solids - and one still has liquid. Some powders solidified, some
are
still a powder. I am sure a mortar and pestle would fix that but I will let you decide.
Numerous glass test tubes, wooden drums & pipes. There are extra wooden drums included. The corks in the test tubes are in various stages of dry rot and may or may not be removed. Some of the test tubes show signs of residue or contain some chemical solution. Uncertain how well they will clean up. Test tube racks, are wooden with some heavy staining about, and the interior does smell musty when first opened.
Experiment Book and Note Book included. The books are weathered and the cover has come loose on the Experiment Book. The experiment book is copyrighted 1934 - so this is how I am dating the product. The notebook has notes on the first 2 pages - which is a neat glimpse into 1900s history.
See photos for details. Ask is you have questions.
The clasp is perfectly aligned, indicating the hinges are not sprung.
