An ophthalmoscope in a leather case, measuring 10.5 x 6.5 x 2 cm. The black leather-covered case has a purple velvet liner and gold stamping on the top lid. The case contains a black metal ophthalmoscope, ivory handle, and convex lens. The set was donated by Dorothy J. Vinton, M.D., in April 1942. It belonged to her father, Cadwallader Curry Vinton, M.D., who graduated in 1882 from Physicians and Surgeons in New York City. The instrument is in good condition, but the case is in poor condition, and has broken into two halves.
