A laryngoscope in a wooden case, measuring 16.5 x 7 x 4.8 cm. The unfinished, unlined case has a sliding top, and contains: 1) laryngoscope, 2) laryngeal mirror, 3) ebony-handled lens and light apparatus, 4) three small light bulbs, and 5) a handmade, folding wooden measurement device. The set was donated by the estate of Laurence Selling, M.D., in November 1964. The instrument and case are in fair condition.
