Description
Digital photograph of a case from an endoscopic set and several miscellaneous instrument pieces. The purple velvet-lined case has been set on a gray counter, and opened to show the contents.
A black leatherette case manufactured by the American Endoscopic Co., containing some pieces of an endoscopic set. The case measures 23 x 12.5 x 3.5 cm, and is lined in purple velvet and metal snap lock. The case was donated by Laurie P. Lind, M.D., in April 1966. It contains: 1) chrome electric lighted tongue depressor, 2) two chrome ear specula, nested in a chrome case with screw top, 3) single chrome speculum, perhaps from a missing otoscope, 4) a chrome piece with bakelite cup, which may be an eye piece, with the mark of Becton-Dickinson, and 5) unidentified chrome attachments, one with a threaded tip. The pieces are in fair condition.
