    Description

    note when buying these, confirm the 5 following:
    atomic energy booklet.
    sealed uranium ore
    radiation screen
    spinthariscope
    atomic energy graphics/box
    because filling any one of those holes can be a very long and costly chase after the fact.
    4 panel wooden box set
    Senior lab #415 in wooden case.  in pretty good overall shape, many components still in their homes.  Many of the jar labels are floating loosely, some of the cardboard backings are showing damage from the chemicals over age, and the elastics have loosened so the packets and books don't display in their perfect little places.
    But, the main attraction as always: still sealed uranium ore and radium screen.  Gorgeous aesthetic to this version with the full atomic panel box.
    These sets in this level completion have become a grail piece for science and oddity collectors at this point.  Always fun to make conversation about your Uranium ore!  Every few years a new article is published somewhere, typically referring to the ATOMIC set as almost mythical- an object only to be found in museums, or referencing David Hahn who built his own neutron source as a teen.
    Finding an atomic set can be tricky.  these larger sets in this nice a shape, even moreso.
    shipping these can be tricky but I've done it before a number of times. please expect a thin pipe or two to possibly break in shipping, though the glass will be packed carefully.
    please feel free to ask any questions.
